In the case of the initial open you don't yet know the tty pointer and may be creating it. SO the tty isn't a reference because it doesn't exist. > *Nod.* It may mean that for consoles we have to provide transient > inodes in rootfs. consoles for printk need to exist extremely early if we are going to be able to kick most of the console special case code into the bitbucket.
