Subject: tty: Use lockless flip buffer free list
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=809850b7a5fcc0a96d023e1171a7944c60fd5a71;p=linux-beck.git

tty: Use lockless flip buffer free list

In preparation for lockless flip buffers, make the flip buffer
free list lockless.

NB: using llist is not the optimal solution, as the driver and
buffer work may contend over the llist head unnecessarily. However,
test measurements indicate this contention is low.
