Revision c019bc119a97aa20372c5a2cf210d209380d397d authored by Paul Mackerras on 14 November 2012, 08:15:47 UTC, committed by Greg Kroah-Hartman on 14 November 2012, 20:27:29 UTC
Commit bdb498c20040 "TTY: hvc_console, add tty install" took the port
refcounting out of hvc_open()/hvc_close(), but failed to remove the
kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls in hvc_hangup() that were there to
remove the extra references that hvc_open() had taken.

The result was that doing a vhangup() when the current terminal was
a hvc_console, then closing the current terminal, would end up calling
destroy_hvc_struct() and making the port disappear entirely.  This
meant that Fedora 17 systems would boot up but then not display the
login prompt on the console, and attempts to open /dev/hvc0 would
give a "No such device" error.

This fixes it by removing the extra kref_put() and tty_kref_put() calls.
