If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alan Cox commit 8a8dabf2dd68caff842d38057097c23bc514ea6e upstream. Historically the N_TTY driver could never fail but this has become broken over time. Rather than trying to rewrite half the ldisc layer to fix the breakage introduce a second level of fallback with an N_NULL ldisc which cannot fail, and thus restore the guarantees required by the ldisc layer. We still try and fail to N_TTY first. It's much more useful to find yourself back in your old ldisc (first attempt) or in N_TTY (second attempt), and while I'm not aware of any code out there that makes those assumptions it's good to drive(r) defensively.
