From 77945febbe60a69e9dcab7f49d33a1aa1e436973 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 20:42:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix unbalanced BKL handling in error path Arnd noted: After the "retry_open:" label, we first get the tty_mutex and then the BKL. However a the end of tty_open, we jump back to retry_open with the BKL still held. If we run into this case, the tty_open function will be left with the BKL still held.
