This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: typec: fix use after free in typec_register_port() 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 5c388abefda0d92355714010c0199055c57ab6c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wen Yang <wenyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2019 22:04:52 +0800 Subject: usb: typec: fix use after free in typec_register_port() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We can't use "port->sw" and/or "port->mux" after it has been freed.
