The patch titled Voyager, tty locking has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is voyager-tty-locking.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Voyager, tty locking From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Voyager fiddles with current->signal.tty without locking. It turns out that the code in question has already cleared current->signal.tty correctly because daemonize() does the right thing already. The signal handling also appears to be incorrect as it does an unprotected sigfillset that also appears unneccessary. As I don't have a bowtie and am therefore not a qualified voyager maintainer I leave that to James.
