From 6716671d8c1c07a8072098764d1b7cbfef7412ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 10:48:35 +0100 Subject: TTY: introduce deinit helpers for proper ldisc shutdown Introduce deinitialize_tty_struct which should be called after initialize_tty_struct and before successfull tty_ldisc_setup. It calls tty_ldisc_deinit which is opposite of tty_ldisc_init. It only puts a reference to ldisc and assigns NULL to tty->ldisc. It will be used to shut down ldisc when tty_release cannot be called yet.
