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 Alan
