The patch titled
     tty: BKL pushdown
has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is
     tty-bkl-pushdown.patch

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***

See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this

Subject: tty: BKL pushdown
From: Alan Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

- Push the BKL down into the line disciplines
- Switch the tty layer to unlocked_ioctl
- Introduce a new ctrl_lock spin lock for the control bits
- Eliminate much of the lock_kernel use in n_tty
- Prepare to (but don't yet) call the drivers with the lock dropped
  on the paths that historically held the lock

BKL now primarily protects open/close/ldisc change in the tty layer
