[RFC 0/3] A little console mystery...

From: Alan Cox
Date: Wed Feb 17 2010 - 08:46:56 EST


Anyone feeling inspired. These three patches move the console to use the
tty_port interface and refcounting. The first two work perfectly, the third
which we really need works beautifully except that it breaks mingetty/login
stuff.

[So not for the main kernel if you like using text consoles]

I have been staring at this problem for ages and I'm clearly missing something
silly because I've still not pinned down why mingetty etc break with the
third patch applied.

Alan Cox (3):
vt: Fix refcounting use
tty: Move the vt_tty field from the vc_data into the standard tty_port
tty: Make vt's have a tty_port
