This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: gadget: gadgetfs: Free memory allocated by memdup_user()
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: gadgetfs: Free memory allocated by memdup_user()
Commit 3b74c73f8d6f053f422e85fce955b61fb181cfe7 switched over to memdup_user()
in ep_write() function and removed kfree (kbuf).
memdup_user() function allocates memory which is never freed.
Fixes: 3b74c73 (usb: gadget: inode: switch over to memdup_user())
