From c96cf923a98d1b094df9f0cf97a83e118817e31b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Safonov Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2018 00:24:48 +0000 Subject: tty: Don't block on IO when ldisc change is pending There might be situations where tty_ldisc_lock() has blocked, but there is already IO on tty and it prevents line discipline changes. It might theoretically turn into dead-lock. Basically, provide more priority to pending tty_ldisc_lock() than to servicing reads/writes over tty. User-visible issue was reported by Mikulas where on pa-risc with Debian 5 reboot took either 80 seconds, 3 minutes or 3:25 after proper locking in tty_reopen().
