This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
n_tty: Fix stall at n_tty_receive_char_special().
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.

syzbot is reporting stalls at n_tty_receive_char_special() [1]. This is because comparison is not working as expected since ldata->read_head can change at any moment. Mitigate this by explicitly masking with buffer size when checking condition for "while" loops.
