From 2ea81868d8fba0bb56d7b45a08cc5f15dd2c6bb2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 00:52:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] tty: fix the locking for signal->session in disassociate_ctty commit 24ec839c431eb79bb8f6abc00c4e1eb3b8c4d517 while fixing the locking for signal->tty got the locking wrong for signal->session. This places our accesses of signal->session back under the tasklist_lock where they belong. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
