[PATCH -next 5/9] pty: Don't claim slave's ctrl_lock for master's packet mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The slave's ctrl_lock serializes updates to the ctrl_status field
only, whereas the master's ctrl_lock serializes updates to the
packet mode enable (ie., the master does not have ctrl_status and
the slave does not have packet mode). Thus, claiming the slave's
ctrl_lock to access ->packet is useless.

Unlocked reads of ->packet are already smp-safe.
