From ed069827ca70af057caf21c395f76c2c0b82d429 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2020 23:33:59 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tty: drop outdated comments about release_tty() locking The current version of the TTY code unlocks the tty_struct(s) before release_tty() rather than after. Moreover, tty_unlock_pair() no longer exists. Thus, remove the outdated comments regarding tty_unlock_pair().
