Subject: [03/13] rocket.c: Fix ldisc ref count handling
Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2005 23:50:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050803065018.GR7762@shell0.pdx.osdl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20050803064439.GO7762@shell0.pdx.osdl.net>

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com>

If bailing out because there is nothing to receive in rp_do_receive(),
tty_ldisc_deref is not called.  Failure to do so increases the ref count=20
and causes release_dev() to hang since it can't get the ref count to 0.
