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

tty: fix compat TIOCGSERIAL checking wrong function ptr

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 checking wrong function ptr

Commit 77654350306a ("take compat TIOC[SG]SERIAL treatment into tty_compat_ioctl()") changed the compat version of TIOCGSERIAL to start checking for the presence of the ->set_serial function pointer rather than ->get_serial. This appears to be a copy-and-paste error, since ->get_serial is the function pointer that is called as well as the pointer that is checked by the non-compat version of TIOCGSERIAL.

Fix this by checking the correct function pointer.

Fixes 77654350306a ("take compat TIOC[SG]SERIAL treatment into tty_compat_ioctl()")
