This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: fix error handling in usb_driver_claim_interface()
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-linus 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 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.

The syzbot fuzzing project found a use-after-free bug in the USB core. The bug was caused by usbfs not unbinding from an interface when the USB device file was closed, which led another process to attempt the unbind later on, after the private data structure had been deallocated.
The reason usbfs did not unbind the interface at the appropriate time was because it thought the interface had never been claimed in the first place. This was caused by the fact that usb_driver_claim_interface() does not clean up properly when device_bind_driver() returns an error. Although the error code gets passed back to the caller, the iface->dev.driver pointer remains set and iface->condition remains equal to USB_INTERFACE_BOUND.
This patch adds proper error handling to usb_driver_claim_interface().
