| H A D | tty_ldisc.c | 16759f6c Mon Mar 11 15:44:41 CDT 2013 Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> tty: Document unsafe ldisc reference acquire
Merge get_ldisc() into its only call site.
Note how, after merging, the unsafe acquire of an ldisc reference
is obvious.
CPU 0 in tty_ldisc_try() | CPU 1 in tty_ldisc_halt()

test_bit(TTY_LDISC, &tty_flags) |
if (true) | clear_bit(TTY_LDISC, &tty_flags)
tty->ldisc != 0? | atomic_read(&tty->ldisc->users)

The spin lock in tty_ldisc_try() does nothing wrt synchronizing
the ldisc halt since it's not acquired as part of halting.
