From cbe9352fa08f90aa03b4dbf1bbabfc95d196e562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 14:54:56 -0700 Subject: tty-ldisc: be more careful in 'put_ldisc' locking Use 'atomic_dec_and_lock()' to make sure that we always hold the tty_ldisc_lock when the ldisc count goes to zero. That way we can never race against 'tty_ldisc_try()' increasing the count again.
