From: Eric Biggers Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 08:03:26 +0000 (-0800) Subject: vt: vt_ioctl: remove unnecessary console allocation checks X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac7136b9f15740d5f17a017a5febdf875239a3ea;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git vt: vt_ioctl: remove unnecessary console allocation checks commit 1aa6e058dd6cd04471b1f21298270014daf48ac9 upstream. The vc_cons_allocated() checks in vt_ioctl() and vt_compat_ioctl() are unnecessary because they can only be reached by calling ioctl() on an open tty, which implies the corresponding virtual console is allocated. And even if the virtual console *could* be freed concurrently, then these checks would be broken since they aren't done under console_lock, and the vc_data is dereferenced before them anyway. So, remove these unneeded checks to avoid confusion.
