This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
TTY: n_gsm, fix false positive WARN_ON
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: n_gsm, fix false positive WARN_ON
Dmitry reported, that the current cleanup code in n_gsm can trigger a
warning:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 24238 at drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2048 gsm_cleanup_mux+0x166/0x6b0()
...
Call Trace:
...

[<ffffffff828a14ea>] tty_ioctl+0xb2a/0x2140 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2883
...
But this is a legal path when open fails to find a space in the
gsm_mux array and tries to clean up. So make it a standard test
instead of a warning.
