This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    USB: OHCI: Fix race between ED unlink and URB submission

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: OHCI: Fix race between ED unlink and URB submission

This patch fixes a bug introduced by commit 977dcfdc6031 ("USB: OHCI:
don't lose track of EDs when a controller dies").  The commit changed
ed_state from ED_UNLINK to ED_IDLE too early, before finish_urb() had
been called.  The user-visible consequence is that the driver
occasionally crashes or locks up when an URB is submitted while
another URB for the same endpoint is being unlinked.

This patch moves the ED state change later, to the right place.  The
drawback is that now we may unnecessarily execute some instructions
multiple times when a controller dies.  Since controllers dying is an
exceptional occurrence, a little wasted time won't matter.
