Alan, should I rebase this patch on the current ttydev tree - (i.e move tty_driver_lookup() and tty_reopen() to callers) or do you have other plans ? ptmx_open() may not even need call tty_driver_lookup() or reopen() since it just allocated a new index. I did quick touch test on it. tty_open() can skip the lookup if opening /dev/tty. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
