This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: hv: fix netvsc sleeping while atomic
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git
in the staging-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 will be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The channel callbacks are called directly from vmbus_event_dpc
which runs in tasklet context. These callbacks need to use
GFP_ATOMIC.
