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

staging: rtl8712: prevent buffer overrun in recvbuf2recvframe

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: rtl8712: prevent buffer overrun in recvbuf2recvframe

With an RTL8191SU USB adaptor, sometimes the hints for a fragmented packet are set, but the packet length is too large. Allocate enough space to prevent memory corruption and a resulting kernel panic [1].
