This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
vt_ioctl: change VT_RESIZEX ioctl to check for error return from
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.

vc_resize() can return with an error after failure. Change VT_RESIZEX ioctl to save struct vc_data values that are modified and restore the original values in case of error.
