Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix merge of "tty: Refactor tty_open()"
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 17:47:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459471627-20669-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAKU3ayUnachD60Q1HwfMAXTOThwH1cF55t2yBwAVVzYoM4QE-Q@mail.gmail.com>

Commit e9036d066236 ("tty: Drop krefs for interrupted tty lock")
fixed a tty reference counting problem introduced in
commit 0bfd464d3fdd ("tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen"),
so v4.5.0 is correct.

However, commit d6203d0c7b73 ("tty: Refactor tty_open()") moved the
relevant code for 4.6-rc1; correct the merge.
