[PATCH] tty: Drop krefs for interrupted tty lock

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Fri Feb 05 2016 - 13:49:57 EST


When the tty lock is interrupted on attempted re-open, 2 tty krefs
are still held. Drop extra kref before returning failure from
tty_lock_interruptible(), and drop lookup kref before returning
failure from tty_open().

Fixes: 0bfd464d3fdd ("tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen")

Greg,

This patch applies to tty-linus. For tty-next, the first blob has
been refactored into tty_open_by_driver(). Please let me know if
the merge isn't as straightforward as I believe it should be.
