Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/5] hvc_console: Add tty window resizing
Date: 	Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:12:51 +0200

plain text document attachment (hvc)
From: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.
