Are there still concerns about the additional lock? I'll resend V2
tomorrow with the single whitespace fix if I don't hear anything back today.
I understand your saying. Looks good.
However, I am not expert of linux-uart core system.
So, I'd like UART maintainer to give us your opinion.
Greg, Alan,

any concerns with the locking approach I've adopted in the patch?
Only the one I noted in my reply the first time around which is that you
can't permit tty->low_latency=1 unless your tty receive path is not an
IRQ path. From a locking point of view the change makes sense anyway.

Going back over it your console locking also needs care - an oops or
printk within the areas the private lock covers will hang the box. That
should also probably be a trylock style lock as with the other lock on
that path
