From b07471fa51358ce64cc25e1501544502362e4404 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2010 21:40:30 +0200 Subject: tty: implement BTM as mutex instead of BKL The tty locking now follows the rules for mutexes, so we can replace the BKL usage with a new subsystem wide mutex. Using a regular mutex here will change the behaviour when blocked on the BTM from spinning to sleeping, but that should not be visible to the user. Using the mutex also means that all the BTM is now covered by lockdep.
