Post by Okash KhawajaSo the idea is to make kopen of tty exclusive and protect that
exclusivity with TTY_KOPENED flag. That way we don't have to worry about
complexities, races etc of the regular user-space oriented tty code.
Here's what I mean. I've done some rudimentary testing. It seems to
clean up alright, allowing ttyUSB0 or ttyS0 to be reused by user space
programs. It also prevents user program from using the tty held by
speakup while speakup is loaded.
We don't need tty_kclose though because we can instead call
tty_release_struct which will free up the tty, removing the need to
clear TTY_KOPENED flag.
