From 6da8d866d0d39e9509ff826660f6a86a6757c966 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 18:05:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tty: release_one_tty() forgets to put pids release_one_tty(tty) can be called when tty still has a reference to pgrp/session. In this case we leak the pid. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Reported-by: Catalin Marinas Reported-and-tested-by: Tetsuo Handa Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Acked-by: Eric W.
