Subject: [PATCH 3.2 061/126] vt: clear selection before resizing
3.2.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Scot Doyle <lkml14@...tdoyle.com>
commit 009e39ae44f4191188aeb6dfbf661b771dbbe515 upstream.
When resizing a vt its selection may exceed the new size, resulting in
an invalid memory access [1]. Clear the selection before resizing.
