patch "usbip: usbip_host: fix to hold parent lock for device_attach() calls" added to usb-linus

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

usbip: usbip_host: fix to hold parent lock for device_attach() calls

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: usbip: usbip_host: fix to hold parent lock for device_attach() calls

usbip_host calls device_attach() without holding dev->parent lock. Fix it.
