Subject: [PATCH -next 5/9] pty: Don't claim slave's ctrl_lock for master's packet mode
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:33:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413488010-16885-6-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1413488010-16885-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com>

The slave's ctrl_lock serializes updates to the ctrl_status field
only, whereas the master's ctrl_lock serializes updates to the
packet mode enable (ie., the master does not have ctrl_status and
the slave does not have packet mode). Thus, claiming the slave's
ctrl_lock to access ->packet is useless.

Unlocked reads of ->packet are already smp-safe.
