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

    tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc(), part 2

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: tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc(), part 2

commit 9ce119f318ba ("tty: Fix GPF in flush_to_ldisc()") fixed a
GPF caused by a line discipline which does not define a receive_buf()
method.

However, the vt driver (and speakup driver also) pushes selection
data directly to the line discipline receive_buf() method via
tty_ldisc_receive_buf(). Fix the same problem in tty_ldisc_receive_buf().
