This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen
Allow a signal to interrupt the wait for a tty reopen; eg., if
the tty has starting final close and is waiting for the device to
drain.
