Hi,
After doing BK pull last night INIT gets stuck in do_tty_hangup after
executing rc.sysinit. Was booting fine with pull from 2 days ago...
Anyone else seeing this?
I suspect pidhash patch because it touched tty_io.c, but I have not tried
reverting it as it is getting too late here... So I apologize in advance
if I am pointing finger at the innocent ;)

Well, I was excited about blowing away 100B from each task but am now
a bit concerned about the semantic impact of the refcounting part of it.
It's unclear what pins an ID while a tty has a reference to it without
the reference counting; Kirill, could you answer this?

Oops, you are right. These do_each_task_pid()/while_each_task_pid() do
loop 4ever with 'continue' inside.
Strange, that I haven't faced the problem on my machine before sending
the patch... :(
Sorry for the inconvinience. Patch is inside.

Well, that sounds easy enough to deal with. I suppose the reference
counting argument is that the refcounting is on the tty by the tasks
and not vice-versa, and disassociate_ctty() cleans up the SID reference.

stop.
tty doesn't hold reference to ID neither in my patch nor in the original
kernel.
tty only knows session ID and wants to traverse all tasks with such ID.
if task dies it calls detach_pid() and it won't be found in such a loop.
No reference counting is required.
The problem was in loop. Or more exactly my
do_each_task_pid()/while_each_task_pid() macros were incompatible with
continue statement inside. It was really foolish error. Like the most are...

I see that the patch is already in the kernel proper. Just for the record the
patch fixes my problem and the box boots fine. Thanks, Kirill!
