Subject: [PATCH 07/13] tty: give up BTM in acquire_console_sem
Date: Wed,  5 May 2010 00:33:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273012433-6125-8-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1273012433-6125-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de>

This was not caught in the initial sweep through
the TTY layer, nor by lockdep, which does not know
about classic semaphores.
