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

    USB: devio: Don't corrupt user memory

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: devio: Don't corrupt user memory

The user buffer has "uurb->buffer_length" bytes.  If the kernel has more
information than that, we should truncate it instead of writing past
the end of the user's buffer.  I added a WARN_ONCE() to help the user
debug the issue.
