Next: [PATCH 04/68] serial: add UART_CAP_EFR and UART_CAP_SLEEP flags to 16C950 UARTs definition
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman on 10 Aug 2010 18:10
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de>

We need to release the BTM in paste_selection() when
sleeping in tty_ldisc_ref_wait to avoid deadlocks
with tty_ldisc_enable.

In tty_set_ldisc, we now always grab the BTM before
taking the ldisc_mutex in order to avoid AB-BA
deadlocks between the two.

tty_ldisc_halt potentially blocks on a workqueue
function that takes the BTM, so we must release
the BTM before calling it.
