[Devel] [PATCH] Protect tty drivers list a little

[Alexey Dobriyan]

Additions and removal from tty_drivers list were just done as well as
iterating on it for /proc/tty/drivers generation.

testing: modprobe/rmmod loop of simple module which does nothing but
tty_register_driver() vs cat /proc/tty/drivers loop

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b
