You are right. Thanks.

I have looked at it and I have corrected my patch to use tty_do_resize().
Since tty_do_resize() cannot be called holding the hp spinlock; the code uses
now tty_kref_get/put to keep track of the tty object. I am not sure if the
use of the kref's is correct here, so please let me know if there is a better
solution.
Thanks.

[RFC PATCH 4/5 v2] hvc_console: Add tty window resizing using tty_do_resize()
From: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.
This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer.
A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().
