Still, it's not a good thing that it's easy to lock up. There is a traceback from NMI oopser here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431379 But in short, if a line discipline has a chance to echo anything, input can loop back a write method. So, don't call tty_flip_buffer_push from under a lock taken on write path.
