[PATCH] tty: make sure that proc_clear_tty stores the cpu flags

From: Alan Cox
Date: Wed Oct 15 2008 - 05:53:20 EST


From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

proc_clear_tty() gets called with interrupts off (while holding the task list
lock) from sys_setid. This means that it needs the _irqsave version of the
locking primitives.
