| From | Peter Hurley <> | Subject | [PATCH v4 32/32] tty: Drop "tty is NULL" flip buffer diagnostic | Date | Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:03:19 -0500 |
| |
Although this warning uncovered a multitude of races and errors in the tty and ldisc layers, this diagnostic now has too many false-positives.
An expected outcome of the separation of driver i/o paths from tty lifetimes (added in 3.9) is that the tty may already be in advanced stages of teardown when scheduled flip buffer work runs. Ldisc i/o is prevented in this case because flush_to_ldisc() cannot acquire an ldisc reference.
