3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5cec7bf699c61d14f0538345076480bb8c8ebfbb upstream. Commit 'e7f3880cd9b98c5bf9391ae7acdec82b75403776' tty: Fix recursive deadlock in tty_perform_flush() introduced a regression where tcflush() does not generate SIGTTOU for background process groups. Make sure ioctl(TCFLSH) calls tty_check_change() when invoked from the line discipline.
