From b027e2298bd588d6fa36ed2eda97447fb3eac078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gaurav Kohli Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 13:16:34 +0530 Subject: tty: fix data race between tty_init_dev and flush of buf There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty->disc_data may be NULL.
