Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix tty_send_xchar() lock order inversion
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:03:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447247034-9788-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> (raw)
The correct lock order is atomic_write_lock => termios_rwsem, as
established by tty_write() => n_tty_write().
Fixes: c274f6ef1c666 ("tty: Hold termios_rwsem for tcflow(TCIxxx)")
