From ee0c1a65cf95230d5eb3d9de94fd2ead9a428c67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:03:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix tty_send_xchar() lock order inversion The correct lock order is atomic_write_lock => termios_rwsem, as established by tty_write() => n_tty_write().
