From deb287e7401bbbf7803731805acbda1d983d1999 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 12:12:55 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tty: Document check_tty_count() requires tty_lock held Holding the tty_lock() is necessary to prevent concurrent changes to the tty count that may cause it to differ from the open file list count. The tty_lock() is already held at all call sites. NB: Note that the check for the pty master tty count is safe because the slave's tty_lock() is held while decrementing the pty master tty count.
