[PATCH -next 25/27] tty: Fix hung task on pty hangup

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

 



When hanging up one end of a pty pair, there may be waiting
readers/writers on the other end which may not exit, preventing
tty_ldisc_lock_pair() from acquiring the other side's ldisc lock.

Only acquire this side's ldisc lock; although this will no longer
prevent the other side from writing new input, that input will not
be processing until after the ldisc hangup is complete.
