This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: fix hang when opening port
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.

Subject: USB: serial: fix hang when opening port
Johan's 'fix use-after-free in TIOCMIWAIT' patchset[1] introduces
one bug which can cause kernel hang when opening port.
This patch initialized the 'port->delta_msr_wait' waitqueue head
to fix the bug which is introduced in 3.9-rc4.
