This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled staging: usbip: bugfix for stack corruption on 64-bit architectures
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-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 08224262adefb5e6460888b2490a96e1bc28aef5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bart Westgeest <b...@elbrys.com> Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 12:13:08 -0400 Subject: staging: usbip: bugfix for stack corruption on 64-bit architectures Previously a 6 byte array (buf) was erroneously cast to a 8 byte long (event_bits) on 64-bit architectures which caused a stack corruption.
