This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: Fix sysfs interface of "role" 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 5dac665cf403967bb79a7aeb8c182a621fe617ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2019 19:15:43 +0900 Subject: usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: Fix sysfs interface of "role" Since the role_store() uses strncmp(), it's possible to refer out-of-memory if the sysfs data size is smaller than strlen("host"). This patch fixes it by using sysfs_streq() instead of strncmp().
