  1565                  if (o_tty->termios != tty->driver->other->termios[idx]) {
  1566                          unlock_kernel();
  1567                          printk(KERN_DEBUG "tty_release_dev: other->termios[%d] "
  1568                                            "not o_termios for (%s)\n",
  1569                                 idx, tty->name);
  1570                          return 0;
  1571                  }
  1572                  if (o_tty->link != tty) {

We would need an unlock_kernel() here.

  1573                          printk(KERN_DEBUG "tty_release_dev: bad pty pointers\n");
  1574                          return 0;
  1575                  }
