This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: gadget: f_fs: fix NULL pointer dereference when there are no
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.

Subject: usb: gadget: f_fs: fix NULL pointer dereference when there are no
strings
MIME-Version: 1.0

If the descriptors do not need any strings and user space sends empty
set of strings, the ffs->stringtabs field remains NULL. Thus
*ffs->stringtabs in functionfs_bind leads to a NULL pointer
dereferenece.
The bug was introduced by commit [fd7c9a007f: “use usb_string_ids_n()”].
While at it, remove double initialisation of lang local variable in
that function.
ffs->strings_count does not need to be checked in any way since in
the above scenario it will remain zero and usb_string_ids_n() is
a no-operation when colled with 0 argument.
