From 6bd23e0c2bb6c65d4f5754d1456bc9a4427fc59b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 09:33:39 -0700 Subject: tty: add the option to have a tty reject a new ldisc ... and use it to limit the virtual terminals to just N_TTY. They are kind of special, and in particular, the "con_write()" routine violates the "writes cannot sleep" rule that some ldiscs rely on. This avoids the BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/printk/printk.c:2659 when N_GSM has been attached to a virtual console, and gsmld_write() calls con_write() while holding a spinlock, and con_write() then tries to get the console lock.
