This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled phy: renesas: rcar-gen3-usb2: Fix sysfs interface of "role" to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-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. >From 4bd5ead82d4b877ebe41daf95f28cda53205b039 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 16:55:10 +0900 Subject: phy: renesas: rcar-gen3-usb2: 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().
