[SRU][Vivid][Wily][PATCH 0/1] tty: fix stall caused by missing memory barrier in drivers/tty/n_tty.c

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512815

== Wily and Vivid SRU Justification ==

The bug reported ran into a program stall on a x86_64 server, where n_tty_read() 
was waiting for data even if there was data in the buffer in the pty.  

Commit e81107d fixes this issue and has been in mainline since v4.3-rc5.  The commit has
been cc'd to stable, but has not yet landed.

The commit is a clean cherry-pick for Vivid and Wily.  However, Trusty requres a minor 
backport, so the SRU request for Trusty will be separate.


== Fix ==

    tty: fix stall caused by missing memory barrier in drivers/tty/n_tty.c


== Test Case ==

A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
