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

    tty: fix compat TIOCGSERIAL leaking uninitialized memory

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 compat TIOCGSERIAL leaking uninitialized memory

Commit 77654350306a ("take compat TIOC[SG]SERIAL treatment into
tty_compat_ioctl()") changed the compat version of TIOCGSERIAL to start
copying a whole 'serial_struct32' to userspace rather than individual
fields, but failed to initialize all padding and fields -- namely the
hole after the 'iomem_reg_shift' field, and the 'reserved' field.

Fix this by initializing the struct to zero.

[v2: use sizeof, and convert the adjacent line for consistency.]
