At the moment we have the BKL here but this removes the need for it and is a step in the right direction Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/drivers/char/tty_io.c b/drivers/char/tty_io.c index 18085a20df23..b4f37c65b95c 100644 --- a/drivers/char/tty_io.c +++ b/drivers/char/tty_io.c @@ -2740,18 +2740,21 @@ static int tiocsti(struct tty_struct *tty, char __user *p) * @tty; tty * @arg: user buffer for result * - * Copies the kernel idea of the window size into the user buffer.
