Subject: [PATCH] tty: make sure that proc_clear_tty stores the cpu flags
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:52:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081015095214.330.59301.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

proc_clear_tty() gets called with interrupts off (while holding the task list
lock) from sys_setid. This means that it needs the _irqsave version of the
locking primitives.
