This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Prevent sending data on a rescinded channel
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: Prevent sending data on a rescinded channel
After the channel is rescinded, the host does not read from the rescinded channel.
Fail writes to a channel that has already been rescinded. If we permit writes on a
rescinded channel, since the host will not respond we will have situations where
we will be unable to unload vmbus drivers that cannot have any outstanding requests
to the host at the point they are unoaded.
