Subject: BKL in tty code?
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2002 13:49:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020130184950.GA22442@morgoth.mit.edu> (raw)
Hi,
I'm very much a newbie, and I'm wondering about the big kernel locks
in tty_io.c. What exactly are the locks in the read and write for? Is the
tty device that contested? Couldn't a finer grained lock be used?
