[PATCH v4 06/32] tty: Fix ldisc halt sequence on hangup

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Wed Feb 20 2013 - 15:05:25 EST


Flip buffer work cannot be cancelled until all outstanding ldisc
references have been released. Convert the ldisc ref wait into
a full ldisc halt with buffer work cancellation.

Note that the legacy mutex is not held while cancelling.
