Stanislav Kozina (2): tty: Fix possible race in n_tty_read()The (pretty hopeless) commit log says: Fix possible panic caused by unlocked access to tty->read_cnt in while-loop condition in n_tty_read(). Just curious, what kind of panic that can cause, can you be more concrete on that? I suppose two readers, one eats everything, the other is a killer? And should we backport to -stable?Stanislav, you are the one who could reproduce this, any answers here?
