This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging/lustre/lnet: Fix allocation size for sv_cpt_data
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-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: staging/lustre/lnet: Fix allocation size for sv_cpt_data
This is unbreaking another of those "stealth" janitor
patches that got in and subtly broke some things.
sv_cpt_data is a pointer to pointer, so need to
dereference it twice to allocate the correct structure size.
Fixes: 9899cb68c6c2 ("Staging: lustre: rpc: Use sizeof type *pointer instead of sizeof type.")
