From 5fbf1a65dd53ef313783c34a0e93a6e29def6136 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 10:56:11 -0400 Subject: Revert "tty: Fix race condition between __tty_buffer_request_room and flush_to_ldisc" This reverts commit 6a20dbd6caa2358716136144bf524331d70b1e03. Although the commit correctly identifies an unsafe race condition between __tty_buffer_request_room() and flush_to_ldisc(), the commit fixes the race with an unnecessary spinlock in a lockless algorithm. The follow-on commit, "tty: Fix lockless tty buffer race" fixes the race locklessly.
