From f0de0e8d3565ee7feba6228d99763d4cea2087a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 16:00:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tty-ldisc: make /proc/tty/ldiscs use ldisc_ops instead of ldiscs The /proc/tty/ldiscs file is totally and utterly un-interested in the "struct tty_ldisc" structures, and only cares about the underlying ldisc operations. So don't make it create a dummy 'struct ldisc' only to get a pointer to the operations, and then destroy it. Instead, we split up the function 'tty_ldisc_try_get()', and create a 'get_ldops()' helper that just looks up the ldisc operations based on the ldisc number. That makes the code simpler to read (smaller and more well-defined helper functions), and allows the /proc functions to avoid creating that useless dummy only to immediately free it again.
