Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: pty: Fix a possible race issue in initialization of pcon.
Date: Fri,  4 Mar 2022 22:32:57 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220304133257.1204-2-takashi.yano@nifty.ne.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220304133257.1204-1-takashi.yano@nifty.ne.jp>

- Currently, tty::pcon_start flag is cleared before transfer_input()
  in master::write(), however, the code in setup_pseudoconsole()
  waits for transfer_input() using tty::pcon_start. This possibly
  causes the race issue. The patch fixes this potential issue.
