With multiple, concurrent readers (each waiting to acquire the atomic_read_lock mutex), a departing reader may mistakenly reset minimum_to_wake after a new reader has already set a new value. Protect the minimum_to_wake reset with the atomic_read_lock critical section. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <redacted> --- drivers/tty/n_tty.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
This patch doesn't apply to Linus's tree anymore (and hence, mine.) Is it needed for 3.13-final? Or just 3.14-rc1? Either way, can you refresh it and resend? thanks, greg k-h
