Subject: [PATCH 2/3] pty: Lock the devpts bits privately
Date: Thu, 03 May 2012 22:22:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120503212205.568.25804.stgit@bob.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120503212151.568.91854.stgit@bob.linux.org.uk>

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

This is a private pty affair, we don't want to tangle it with the tty_lock
any more as we know all the other non tty locking is now handled by the vfs
so we too can move.
