Subject: [PATCH 6/9] tty: fix sanity check
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:01:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090616160118.10041.47059.stgit@t61.ukuu.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090616155552.10041.63479.stgit@t61.ukuu.org.uk>

From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

The WARN_ON() that was added to tty_reopen can be triggered in the specific
case of a hangup occurring during a re-open of a tty which is not in the
middle of being otherwise closed.

In that case however the WARN() is bogus as we don't hold the neccessary
locks to make a correct decision.

The case we should be checking is "if the ldisc is not changing and reopen
is occuring". We could drop the WARN_ON but for the moment the debug is more
valuable even if it means taking a mutex as it will find any other cases.
