Sync error across tty->count update

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

 



Hi tty experts,

One of of our application (related to kdump) is failing because of a kernel
change in tty layer. It fails to start "Kdump Vmcore Save Service" because it is
not able to redirect all standard input/output messages to console (exec &>
/dev/console).

git bisect shows that "79c1faa4511e tty: Remove
tty_wait_until_sent_from_close()" is the first bad commit. However, reverting
only this patch on top of v4.4-rc3 does not help. Some basic debugging of tty
driver shows that tty_reopen() fails with -EIO (tty->count was 0), when the
problem arises. 

Please, let me know if you see a reason for this failure.

Thanks
