From: Alan Cox Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:53:32 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tty_ioctl: locking for tty_wait_until_sent X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~237 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0ee9cbb3c705903db9c258047d9ce87096e6a1a1;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git tty_ioctl: locking for tty_wait_until_sent This function still depends on the big kernel lock in some cases. Push locking into the function ready for removal of the BKL from ioctl call paths.
