3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6e76c01e71551cb221c1f3deacb9dcd9a7346784 upstream. The gadgetfs driver as a long-outstanding FIXME, regarding a call of copy_to_user() made while holding a spinlock. This patch fixes the issue by dropping the spinlock and using the dev->udc_usage mechanism introduced by another recent patch to guard against status changes while the lock isn't held.
