Subject: [PATCH] missing NULL check in drivers/char/n_tty.c
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 09:38:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040621063845.GA6379@callisto.yi.org> (raw)

Hello,

The rest of the kernel treats tty->driver->chars_in_buffer as a possible
NULL. This patch changes normal_poll() to be consistent with the rest of
the code.

Signed-off-by: Dan Aloni <da-x@colinux.org>

BTW, who is currently maintaining the tty subsystem?
