From 5e00bbfbc5ec21e87d24e206bba9fc2cbe6631a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 17:47:07 -0700 Subject: tty: Fix merge of "tty: Refactor tty_open()" Commit e9036d066236 ("tty: Drop krefs for interrupted tty lock") fixed a tty reference counting problem introduced in commit 0bfd464d3fdd ("tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen"), so v4.5.0 is correct. However, commit d6203d0c7b73 ("tty: Refactor tty_open()") moved the relevant code for 4.6-rc1; correct the merge.
