This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: usbtest: add a timeout for scatter-gather tests 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 32b36eeae6a859670d2939a7d6136cb5e9ed64f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2014 11:11:34 -0400 Subject: USB: usbtest: add a timeout for scatter-gather tests In usbtest, tests 5 - 8 use the scatter-gather library in usbcore without any sort of timeout. If there's a problem in the gadget or host controller being tested, the test can hang. This patch adds a 10-second timeout to the tests, so that they will fail gracefully with an ETIMEDOUT error instead of hanging.
