This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: Prevent "read/write wait queue active!" log flooding to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 494c1eac7e73f719af9d474a96ec8494c33efd6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:54:36 -0400 Subject: tty: Prevent "read/write wait queue active!" log flooding Only print one warning when a task is on the read_wait or write_wait wait queue at final tty release.
