This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: comedi: comedi_compat32.c: fix COMEDI_CMD copy back
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-testing 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 be merged to the staging-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: comedi: comedi_compat32.c: fix COMEDI_CMD copy back
`do_cmd_ioctl()` in "comedi_fops.c" handles the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl.
This returns `-EAGAIN` if it has copied a modified `struct comedi_cmd`
back to user-space. (This occurs when the low-level Comedi driver's
`do_cmdtest()` handler returns non-zero to indicate a problem with the
contents of the `struct comedi_cmd`, or when the `struct comedi_cmd` has
the `CMDF_BOGUS` flag set.)
`compat_cmd()` in "comedi_compat32.c" handles the 32-bit compatible
version of the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl. Currently, it never copies a 32-bit
compatible version of `struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space, which is
at odds with the way the regular `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl is handled. To fix
it, change `compat_cmd()` to copy a 32-bit compatible version of the
`struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space when the main ioctl handler
returns `-EAGAIN`.
