This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
UAS: fix deadlock in error handling and PM flushing work
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.

A SCSI error handler and block runtime PM must not allocate memory with GFP_KERNEL. Furthermore they must not wait for tasks allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL. That means that they cannot share a workqueue with arbitrary tasks.
Fix this for UAS using a private workqueue.
