Subject: tty: Make core responsible for synchronizing its work
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a2965b7bee00a01731ae79de34c26e146cbd08cf;p=linux-beck.git

tty: Make core responsible for synchronizing its work

The tty core relies on the ldisc layer for synchronizing destruction
of the tty. Instead, the final tty release must wait for any pending tty
work to complete prior to tty destruction.
