This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: r8a66597: Fix a possible concurrency use-after-free bug in
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
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: r8a66597: Fix a possible concurrency use-after-free bug in
r8a66597_endpoint_disable()
The function r8a66597_endpoint_disable() and r8a66597_urb_enqueue() may
be concurrently executed.
The two functions both access a possible shared variable "hep->hcpriv".
This shared variable is freed by r8a66597_endpoint_disable() via the
call path:
r8a66597_endpoint_disable
kfree(hep->hcpriv) (line 1995 in Linux-4.19)
This variable is read by r8a66597_urb_enqueue() via the call path:
r8a66597_urb_enqueue
spin_lock_irqsave(&r8a66597->lock)
init_pipe_info
enable_r8a66597_pipe
pipe = hep->hcpriv (line 802 in Linux-4.19)
The read operation is protected by a spinlock, but the free operation
is not protected by this spinlock, thus a concurrency use-after-free bug
may occur.
To fix this bug, the spin-lock and spin-unlock function calls in
r8a66597_endpoint_disable() are moved to protect the free operation.
