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

    uio: fix wrong return value from uio_mmap()

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

Subject: uio: fix wrong return value from uio_mmap()

uio_mmap has multiple fail paths to set return value to nonzero then
goto out. However, it always returns *0* from the *out* at end, and
this will mislead callers who check the return value of this function.
