This changelog still doesn't make sense so I took a look at the code. tty_ldisc_deref() is an unlock function. So this is a lock ordering bug. What makes you think the original ordering was correct? Who reported this bug? What are the effects of this bug?
I was the one who introduced the ordering change in the first place. I am just trying to fix it because although nobody complained I am not sure of the impact and restoring the previous control flow seems to be the right thing to do. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
