Subject: [PATCH 0/2] tty,vcs: vcs_seek fix + removing con_buf_mtx
Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 19:31:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297103485-8319-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com> (raw)
hi,
the vcs lseek method might race with VC removal and cause panic.
Also it seems the vcs is the only one using con_buf and con_buf_mtx,
which does not seem necessary any longer.
attached patches:
1/2 - lseek/VC-release race fix
2/2 - removing con_buf and con_buf_mtx
wbr,
jirka
