Subject: [PATCH] tty: Add missing lock in n_tty_write()
Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 12:56:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130515105656.GI24440@8bytes.org> (raw)
The call of the tty->ops->write callback is protected by
output_lock in all other places I looked at. So it seems the
lock in this code-branch is missing, so take the output_lock
there too.
