3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Gianluca Anzolin <gianl...@sottospazio.it>
commit 1d9e689c934bd5ecb0f273c6c65e0655c5cfee5f upstream.
The function tty_port_tty_hangup() could leak a reference to the tty_struct:
struct tty_struct *tty = tty_port_tty_get(port);
if (tty && (!check_clocal || !C_CLOCAL(tty))) {
tty_hangup(tty);
tty_kref_put(tty);
}
If tty != NULL and the second condition is false we never call tty_kref_put and
the reference is leaked.
Fix by always calling tty_kref_put() which accepts a NULL argument.
The patch fixes a regression introduced by commit aa27a094.
