This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
n_tty: Fix echo overrun tail computation
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: n_tty: Fix echo overrun tail computation
Commit cbfd0340ae1993378fd47179db949e050e16e697,
'n_tty: Process echoes in blocks', introduced an error when
consuming the echo buffer tail to prevent buffer overrun, where
the incorrect operation code byte is checked to determine how
far to advance the tail to the next echo byte.
Check the correct byte for the echo operation code byte.
