Recently, I have been getting the following error on dumped on my current console.
... Warning: dev (04:c0) tty->count(2) != #fd's(1) in tty_open Warning: dev (04:c0) tty->count(2) != #fd's(1) in release_dev Warning: dev (04:c0) tty->count(2) != #fd's(1) in tty_open Warning: dev (04:c0) tty->count(2) != #fd's(1) in release_dev Warning: dev (04:c0) tty->count(2) != #fd's(1) in tty_open Warning: dev (04:c0) tty->count(2) != #fd's(1) in release_dev ...
It just flood my screen every now and again (It usually happens when the harddisk is accessing heavily)
I tracked it down to /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/tty_io.c. It is made the following function.
static int check_tty_count(struct tty_struct *tty, const char *routine)
I'm pretty much ignorant about linux source code. I don't know the significance of the above function. (can somebody explain it to me?)
I am using 1.3.57 (a very old but stable revision). Is the problem due to the hardware I have or the kernel itself? What should I look for? I have been using this version for quite some time now (four five months) and this happened to me since a few days ago.
Thanks.
