X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-snapdragon-4.4.0-1073.78~637
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d12f09f3538db3e11af29bed772e4d3f81710643;p=mirror_ubuntu-artful-kernel.git

tty: Refactor tty_ldisc_reinit() for reuse

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1709126

At tty hangup, the line discipline instance is reinitialized by
closing the current ldisc instance and opening a new instance.
This operation is complicated by error recovery: if the attempt
to reinit the current line discipline fails, the line discipline
is reset to N_TTY (which should not but can fail).

Re-purpose tty_ldisc_reinit() to return a valid, open line discipline
instance, or otherwise, an error.
