This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: rio500: fix memory leak in close after disconnect 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-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. >From e0feb73428b69322dd5caae90b0207de369b5575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 May 2019 11:30:59 +0200 Subject: USB: rio500: fix memory leak in close after disconnect If a disconnected device is closed, rio_close() must free the buffers.
