Greg:
The $SUBJECT commit was added in the 4.0 kernel, but I forgot to mark
it for inclusion in the -stable kernels. The problem it fixes is a
nasty one, affecting people who use libusb: When a device is
disconnected while a libusb transfer is in progress, libusb never
receives a completion notification for the transfer. This can result
in a hang or a segmentation error, depending on how the userspace
program tries to cope.
The patch may require some context adjustment before it will apply to
the longterm -stable trees, but I think it should be added.
