patch "tty: hvc: fix buffer overflow during hvc_alloc()." added to tty-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    tty: hvc: fix buffer overflow during hvc_alloc().

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: hvc: fix buffer overflow during hvc_alloc().

If there is a lot(more then 16) of virtio-console devices
or virtio_console module is reloaded
- buffers 'vtermnos' and 'cons_ops' are overflowed.
In older kernels it overruns spinlock which leads to kernel freezing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1786239

To reproduce the issue, you can try simple script that
loads/unloads module. Something like this:
while [ 1 ]
do
  modprobe virtio_console
  sleep 2
  modprobe -r virtio_console
  sleep 2
done

Description of problem:
Guest get 'Call Trace' when loading module "virtio_console"
and unloading it frequently - clearly reproduced on kernel-4.18.0:
