From: Greg KH To: torvalds@transmeta.com Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [BK PATCH] TTY changes for 2.5.58 Here are some minor tty patches. They add a struct module to the tty_driver structure and then increment and decrement the driver's reference when the tty device assigned to that driver is in use. This is much like other subsystems do. This patch was posted to lkml and no one objected to it. I've also included a patch that adds this support to the tty drivers in the drivers/usb/ directory Please pull from: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/gregkh/linux/tty-2.5 thanks, greg k-h drivers/char/tty_io.c | 7 +++++++ drivers/usb/class/bluetty.c | 7 +------ drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c | 4 +--- drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c | 1 + include/linux/tty_driver.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) ----- ChangeSet@1.1026, 2003-01-14 16:57:38-08:00, greg@kroah.com TTY: Added .owner for tty drivers in the drivers/usb/ directory drivers/usb/class/bluetty.c | 7 +------ drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c | 4 +--- drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c | 1 + 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) ------ ChangeSet@1.1025, 2003-01-14 16:51:58-08:00, greg@kroah.com TTY: add module reference counting for tty drivers.
