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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. 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.
