[PATCH 2/3] clear signal->tty when the last thread exits
When the last thread exits signal->tty is freed, but the pointer is not cleared and points to nowhere. This is OK. Nobody should use signal->tty lockless, and it is no longer possible to take ->siglock. However this looks wrong even if correct, and the nice OOPS is better than subtle and hard to find bugs.

Reading entropy_avail file appears to consume entropy
I'm using the 2.6.31 kernel that comes with Ubuntu 9.10. If I # watch cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail then the size of the entropy pool falls rapidly (by more than 200 bytes per 2s interval). It settles down around 160 bytes. The machines on which I've done the above experiment are otherwise id... 5 Apr 2010 06:07
