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 354e379684fcc70ab8d5450b4d57bd92b5294dfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergio Paracuellos Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2018 13:31:06 +0200 Subject: staging: mt7621-dma: fix potentially dereferencing uninitialized 'tx_desc' Function 'mtk_hsdma_start_transfer' uses 'tx_desc' pointer which can be dereferenced before it is initializated.
