From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> Used the newly introduced deinitialize_tty_struct to properly shut down ldisc. It is intended to fix the Julian's reported problem. He reports that kmemleak checker warns about memory leak: unreferenced object 0xc0e19860 (size 8): comm cat, pid 1226, jiffies 4294919464 (age 287.476s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 44 de 2d c1 01 00 00 00 D.-..... backtrace: [<c1065a74>] create_object+0x109/0x1ad [<c1063d2b>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x60/0x68 [<c113505c>] tty_ldisc_get+0x54/0x76 [<c11358c9>] tty_ldisc_init+0xa/0x20 [<c1130ab4>] initialize_tty_struct+0x2d/0x1ac [<c1130c8c>] tty_init_dev+0x59/0x10d [<c113136d>] tty_open+0x24a/0x3a2 ...
