Subject: [PATCH] tty: remove recursive implementation of tty_ldisc_release
Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 12:11:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120525111152.7239.99793.stgit@bob.linux.org.uk> (raw)

From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

We need to do this in one pass with the locking requirements we now
have.
