From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: from mail.linuxfoundation.org ([140.211.169.12]:44472 "EHLO mail.linuxfoundation.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S965009AbcA0W2Q (ORCPT ); Wed, 27 Jan 2016 17:28:16 -0500 Subject: patch "n_tty: Fix unsafe reference to "other" ldisc" added to tty-testing To: peter@hurleysoftware.com, gregkh@linuxfoundation.org, stable@vger.kernel.org From: Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:28:07 -0800 Message-ID: <145393368714238@kroah.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ANSI_X3.4-1968 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: stable-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled n_tty: Fix unsafe reference to "other" ldisc to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-testing branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From 6d27a63caad3f13e96cf065d2d96828c2006be6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2016 22:40:56 -0800 Subject: n_tty: Fix unsafe reference to "other" ldisc Although n_tty_check_unthrottle() has a valid ldisc reference (since the tty core gets the ldisc ref in tty_read() before calling the line discipline read() method), it does not have a valid ldisc reference to the "other" pty of a pty pair. Since getting an ldisc reference for tty->link essentially open-codes tty_wakeup(), just replace with the equivalent tty_wakeup().
