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. >>From 446230f52a5bef593554510302465eabab45a372 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 16:06:32 +0100 Subject: usb: storage: return on error to avoid a null pointer dereference When us->extra is null the driver is not initialized, however, a later call to osd200_scsi_to_ata is made that dereferences us->extra, causing a null pointer dereference. The code currently detects and reports that the driver is not initialized; add a return to avoid the subsequent dereference issue in this check.
