From 79d753209245de3d6f02480535a8f5cf21ad02f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:40:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] tty: double unlock on error in ptmx_open() The problem here is that we called mutex_unlock(&devpts_mutex) on the error path when we weren't holding the lock.
