[PATCH] tty/vt: Fix vc_deallocate() lock order
From: Peter Hurley
Date: Fri May 17 2013 - 12:41:55 EST
Now that the tty port owns the flip buffers and i/o is allowed
from the driver even when no tty is attached, the destruction
of the tty port (and the flip buffers) must ensure that no
outstanding work is pending.
Unfortunately, this creates a lock order problem with the
console_lock (see attached lockdep report [1] below).
For single console deallocation, drop the console_lock prior
to port destruction. When multiple console deallocation,
defer port destruction until the consoles have been
deallocated.
tty_port_destroy() is not required if the port has not
been used; remove from vc_allocate() failure path.
