[PATCH] tty: Fix two reported pid leaks
These leaks were reported by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marians@gmail.com> and I have been able to very by inspection they are possible. When converting tty_io.c to store pids as struct pid pointers instead of pid_t values it appears I overlooked two places where we stop using the pid value. The very obvious one is in do_tty_hangup, and the one the less obvious one in __proc_set_tty. When looking into the code __proc_set_tty only has pids that need to be put because of failures of other parts of the code to properly perform hangup processing. Fixing the leak here in __proc_set_tty is easy and obviously correct so I am doing that first. Fixing the places that should be performing hangup processing is much less obviously correct. So those I'm aiming those patches at -mm. for now, so the can age a while before they are merged. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
