However it is clear that the count use of the lock is internal and independant of the bigger use of the lock. Furthermore the file list locking is also separately locked already Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- diff --git a/drivers/char/tty_io.c b/drivers/char/tty_io.c index a19fef2..684f0e0 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tty_io.c +++ b/drivers/char/tty_io.c @@ -516,6 +516,8 @@ static void do_tty_hangup(struct work_struct *work) /* inuse_filps is protected by the single kernel lock */ lock_kernel(); check_tty_count(tty, "do_tty_hangup"); + unlock_kernel(); + file_list_lock(); /* This breaks for file handles being sent over AF_UNIX sockets ? */ list_for_each_entry(filp, &tty->tty_files, f_u.fu_list) { @@ -529,6 +531,7 @@ static void do_tty_hangup(struct work_struct *work) } file_list_unlock(); + lock_kernel(); tty_ldisc_hangup(tty); read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
