      Fix race/oops in tty layer after BKL pushdown · 000b9151
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      While testing our KVM code for s390 (starting and killall kvm in a loop)
      I can reproduce the following oops:

      It seems that tty was already free in disassocate_ctty when it tries
      to dereference tty->driver.
      
      After moving the lock_kernel before the mutex_unlock, I can no longer
      reproduce the problem.
      
      [ This is a temporary partial fix for the documented and long standing
        race in disassociate_tty.  This stops most problem cases for now.
      
        For the next release the -next tree has an initial implementation of
        kref counting for tty structures and this quickfix will be dropped.
