The only way it could be invoked is via SAK, which obviously isn't happening here. However, login _does_ call sys_vhangup() which in turn calls tty_vhangup() so I suspect that the statement "tty hangup is scheduled for work_queue" is based on the _assumption_ that sys_vhangup() calls tty_hangup() rather than the function it actually does. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
