This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: Fix transient pty write() EIO
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-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: tty: Fix transient pty write() EIO
Commit 699390354da6c258b65bf8fa79cfd5feaede50b6
('pty: Ignore slave pty close() if never successfully opened')
introduced a bug with ptys whereby a write() in parallel with an
open() on an existing pty could mistakenly indicate an I/O error.
Only indicate an I/O error if the condition on open() actually exists.
