The patch titled tty: clarify disassociate_ctty has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is tty-clarify-disassociate_ctty.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: tty: clarify disassociate_ctty From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The code to look at tty_old_pgrp and send SIGHUP and SIGCONT when it is present only executes when disassociate_ctty is called from do_exit. Make this clear by adding an explict on_exit check, and explicitly setting tty_old_pgrp to 0. In addition fix the locking by reading tty_old_pgrp under the siglock. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
