patch "mei: fix NULL dereferencing during FW initiated disconnection" added to char-misc-testing

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    mei: fix NULL dereferencing during FW initiated disconnection

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-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 char-misc-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: mei: fix NULL dereferencing during FW initiated disconnection

In the case when disconnection is initiated from the FW
the driver is flushing items from the write control list while
iterating over it:

mei_irq_write_handler()
    list_for_each_entry_safe(ctrl_wr_list)         <-- outer loop
         mei_cl_irq_disconnect_rsp()
             mei_cl_set_disconnected()
                 mei_io_list_flush(ctrl_wr_list)   <-- destorying list

We move the list flushing to the completion routine.
