Subject: tty: Update code comment in __proc_set_tty()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a361858da327263e04dc521ca39091d3119ccff8;p=linux-beck.git

tty: Update code comment in __proc_set_tty()

The session and foreground process group pid references will be
non-NULL if tiocsctty() is stealing the controlling tty from another
session (ie., arg == 1 in tiocsctty()).
