This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.19. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 148c61ec96294ff0f87bb63a7973fe9f009a7129 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2014 11:38:30 +0100 Subject: tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute commit d8a5dc3033af2fd6d16030d2ee4fbd073460fe54 upstream. The 'active' sysfs attribute should refer to the currently active tty devices the console is running on, not the currently active console. The console structure doesn't refer to any device in sysfs, only the tty the console is running on has. So we need to print out the tty names in 'active', not the console names. This resolves an issue on s390 platforms in determining the correct console device to use.
