This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serdev: ttyport: fix tty locking in close
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: serdev: ttyport: fix tty locking in close
Make sure to hold the tty lock as required when calling tty-driver
close() (e.g. to avoid racing with hangup()).
Note that the serport active flag is currently set under the lock at
controller open, but really isn't protected by it.
