From 36174dd629350d0654982977d7795ca28475c16f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:32:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] TTY: drop driver reference in tty_open fail path commit c290f8358acaeffd8e0c551ddcc24d1206143376 upstream. When tty_driver_lookup_tty fails in tty_open, we forget to drop a reference to the tty driver. This was added by commit 4a2b5fddd5 (Move tty lookup/reopen to caller). Fix that by adding tty_driver_kref_put to the fail path. I will refactor the code later. This is for the ease of backporting to stable.
