This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc(), part 2
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-testing 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 be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc(), part 2
commit 9ce119f318ba ("tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc()") fixed a
GPF caused by a line discipline which does not define a receive_buf()
method.
However, the vt driver (and speakup driver also) pushes selection
data directly to the line discipline receive_buf() method via
tty_ldisc_receive_buf(). Fix the same problem in tty_ldisc_receive_buf().
