Re: [PATCH] tty reference count fix

Your patch leaves the schedule() call at the bottom of

setting TTY_CLOSING flag.

Nevermind. After schedule() the count is reread,
so you are right. Dropping tty_sem altogether
would work.

It is a matter of where you ultimately wish to
push the locking to BKL or tty_sem.
