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

USB: serial: keyspan_pda: fix write deadlock

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.

Subject: USB: serial: keyspan_pda: fix write deadlock

The write() callback can be called in interrupt context (e.g. when used as a console) so interrupts must be disabled while holding the port lock to prevent a possible deadlock.

Fixes e81ee637e4ae ("usb-serial: possible irq lock inversion (PPP vs. usb/serial)")
Fixes 507ca9bc0476 ("[PATCH] USB: add ability for usb-serial drivers to determine if their write urb is currently being used.")
