This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: vmk80xx: Fix use of uninitialized semaphore
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus 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 hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: comedi: vmk80xx: Fix use of uninitialized semaphore
If `vmk80xx_auto_attach()` returns an error, the core comedi module code
will call `vmk80xx_detach()` to clean up. If `vmk80xx_auto_attach()`
successfully allocated the comedi device private data,
`vmk80xx_detach()` assumes that a `struct semaphore limit_sem` contained
in the private data has been initialized and uses it. Unfortunately,
there are a couple of places where `vmk80xx_auto_attach()` can return an
error after allocating the device private data but before initializing
the semaphore, so this assumption is invalid. Fix it by initializing
the semaphore just after allocating the private data in
`vmk80xx_auto_attach()` before any other errors can be returned.
I believe this was the cause of the following syzbot crash report
<https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=54c2f58f15fe6876b6ad>:
