This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
UAS: fix alignment of scatter/gather segments
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: UAS: fix alignment of scatter/gather segments
This is the UAS version of
747668dbc061b3e62bc1982767a3a1f9815fcf0e
usb-storage: Set virt_boundary_mask to avoid SG overflows
We are not as likely to be vulnerable as storage, as it is unlikelier
that UAS is run over a controller without native support for SG,
but the issue exists.
The issue has been existing since the inception of the driver.
Fixes: 115bb1ffa54c ("USB: Add UAS driver")

+ * We have two requirements here. We must satisfy the requirements
+ * of the physical HC and the demands of the protocol, as we
+ * definitely want no additional memory allocation in this path
+ * ruling out using bounce buffers.
*
- * But it doesn't suffice for Wireless USB, where Bulk maxpacket
- * values can be as large as 2048. To make that work properly
- * will require changes to the block layer.
+ * For a transmission on USB to continue we must never send
+ * a package that is smaller than maxpacket. Hence the length of each
+ * scatterlist element except the last must be divisible by the
+ * Bulk maxpacket value.
+ * If the HC does not ensure that through SG,
