From f4f9edcf9b5289ed96113e79fa65a7bf27ecb096 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2016 22:40:58 -0800 Subject: staging/speakup: Use tty_ldisc_ref() for paste kworker As the function documentation for tty_ldisc_ref_wait() notes, it is only callable from a tty file_operations routine; otherwise there is no guarantee the ref won't be NULL. The key difference with the VT's paste_selection() is that is an ioctl, where __speakup_paste_selection() is completely async kworker, kicked off from interrupt context.
