[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    hv: don't reset hv_context.tsc_page on crash

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: hv: don't reset hv_context.tsc_page on crash

It may happen that secondary CPUs are still alive and resetting
hv_context.tsc_page will cause a consequent crash in read_hv_clock_tsc()
as we don't check for it being not NULL there. It is safe as we're not
freeing this page anyways.
