Subject[PATCH v3 18/23] tty: Remove stale comment re: tty_ldisc_flush_works()
Date
Waiting for a pending hangup to complete is not a necessary
post-operation of using tty_ldisc_halt() and not sufficient to
guarantee a hangup is not in-progress. As far as the ldisc layer
is concerned, waiting for a pending hangup is necessary only
prior to changing the ldisc while handling the TIOCSETD ioctl (and
only because the tty lock must be released as a precondition
of halting the ldisc).
