This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix possible sleep-in-atomic
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release

Subject: USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix possible sleep-in-atomic
According to drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c, the driver may sleep
under a spinlock.
The function call path is:
edge_bulk_in_callback (acquire the spinlock)
process_rcvd_data
process_rcvd_status
change_port_settings
send_iosp_ext_cmd
write_cmd_usb
usb_kill_urb --> may sleep
To fix it, the redundant usb_kill_urb() is removed from the error path
after usb_submit_urb() fails.
This possible bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and checked
by my code review.
