This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
devpts: fix null pointer dereference on failed memory allocation
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-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: devpts: fix null pointer dereference on failed memory allocation
An ENOMEM when creating a pair tty in tty_ldisc_setup causes a null
pointer dereference in devpts_kill_index because tty->link->driver_data
is NULL. The oops was triggered with the pty stressor in stress-ng when
in a low memory condition.
tty_init_dev tries to clean up a tty_ldisc_setup ENOMEM error by calling
release_tty, however, this ultimately tries to clean up the NULL pair'd
tty in pty_unix98_remove, triggering the Oops.
Add check to pty_unix98_remove to only clean up fsi if it is not NULL.
Ooops:
