This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Drivers: hv: util: Backup: 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. >From b62aaeb4c979c220c735f8115835258b06f16083 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2016 16:54:03 -0800 Subject: Drivers: hv: util: Backup: Fix a rescind processing issue VSS may use a char device to support the communication between the user level daemon and the driver. When the VSS channel is rescinded we need to make sure that the char device is fully cleaned up before we can process a new VSS offer from the host. Implement this logic. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
