Message-Id: <1383850917-24416-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 14:01:57 -0500 From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com> To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@...e.cz>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-serial@...r.kernel.org, Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com> Subject: [PATCH] n_tty: Protect minimum_to_wake reset for concurrent readers With multiple, concurrent readers (each waiting to acquire the atomic_read_lock mutex), a departing reader may mistakenly reset minimum_to_wake after a new reader has already set a new value. Protect the minimum_to_wake reset with the atomic_read_lock critical section.
