This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
n_tty: Fix stale echo output
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-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: n_tty: Fix stale echo output
When echoes cannot be flushed to output (usually because the tty
has no more write room) and L_ECHO is subsequently turned off, then
when L_ECHO is turned back on, stale echoes are output.
Output completed echoes regardless of the L_ECHO setting:
1. before normal writes to that tty
2. if the tty was stopped by soft flow control and is being
restarted
