From 60af22d2ed490554cc92c8d0fed0b5b9cf687568 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 22:53:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tty: reorder ldisc locking We need to release the BTM in paste_selection() when sleeping in tty_ldisc_ref_wait to avoid deadlocks with tty_ldisc_enable. In tty_set_ldisc, we now always grab the BTM before taking the ldisc_mutex in order to avoid AB-BA deadlocks between the two. tty_ldisc_halt potentially blocks on a workqueue function that takes the BTM, so we must release the BTM before calling it.
