This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
n_gsm: uplink SKBs accumulate on list
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_gsm: uplink SKBs accumulate on list
gsm_dlci_data_kick will not call any output function if tx_bytes > THRESH_LO
furthermore it will call the output function only once if tx_bytes == 0
If the size of the IP writes are on the order of THRESH_LO
we can get into a situation where skbs accumulate on the outbound list
being starved for events to call the output function.
gsm_dlci_data_kick now calls the sweep function when tx_bytes==0
