This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    Drivers: hv: util: Fix a bug in the KVP code

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-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: Drivers: hv: util: Fix a bug in the KVP code

Add code to poll the channel since we process only one message
at a time and the host may not interrupt us. Also increase the
receive buffer size since some KVP messages are close to 8K bytes in size.
