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

USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix possible sleep-in-atomic

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-testing 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 be merged to the usb-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

According to drivers/usb/serial/io_edgeport.c, the driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call path is: edge_bulk_in_callback (acquire the spinlock) process_rcvd_data process_rcvd_status change_port_settings send_iosp_ext_cmd write_cmd_usb usb_kill_urb --> may sleep

To fix it, the redundant usb_kill_urb() is removed from the error path after usb_submit_urb() fails.

This possible bug is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC) and checked by my code review.
