From 157a4b311c45c9aba75a990464d9680867dc8805 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Brannon Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:16:34 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tty: keyboard.c: Remove locking from vt_get_leds. There are three call sites for this function, and all three are called within a keyboard handler. kbd_event_lock is already held within keyboard handlers, so attempting to lock it in vt_get_leds causes deadlock.
