At least since commitsfeebed6515("tty: shutdown method") andbc1e99d93f("TTY: vt, add ->install"), tty->driver_data in vc is expected to be set since tty_operations::install() till ::cleanup(). So the checks of !tty->driver_data (aka !vc) in: * vc_do_resize() by tty -> ioctl(TIOCSWINSZ) -> vt_resize() * do_con_write() by tty -> tty_operations::write()/::put_char() * con_flush_chars() by tty -> ::flush_chars() are all superfluous. And also, holding a console lock is not needed to fetch tty->driver_data. Note there is even a stale comment in con_flush_chars() about a race between that and con_close(). But con_close() does not set tty->driver_data to NULL for years already. Drop all these in a hope I am not terribly mistaken.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
