This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
uio: fix wrong return value from uio_mmap()
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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: uio: fix wrong return value from uio_mmap()
uio_mmap has multiple fail paths to set return value to nonzero then
goto out. However, it always returns *0* from the *out* at end, and
this will mislead callers who check the return value of this function.
