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

USB: fix the usbfs flag sanitization for control transfers

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.

Commit 7a68d9fb8510 ("USB: usbdevfs: sanitize flags more") checks the transfer flags for URBs submitted from userspace via usbfs. However, the check for whether the USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK flag should be allowed for a control transfer was added in the wrong place, before the code has properly determined the direction of the control transfer. (Control transfers are special because for them, the direction is set by the bRequestType byte of the Setup packet rather than direction bit of the endpoint address.)

This patch moves code which sets up the allow_short flag for control transfers down after is_in has been set to the correct value.
