This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Drivers: hv: util: kvp: Fix a rescind processing issue
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
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the char-misc-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: Drivers: hv: util: kvp: Fix a rescind processing issue
KVP may use a char device to support the communication between
the user level daemon and the driver. When the KVP channel is rescinded
we need to make sure that the char device is fully cleaned up before
we can process a new KVP offer from the host. Implement this logic.
