It's easily triggerable by ioctl(dev_tty_fd, VT_SETACTIVATE, NULL); Introduced by commit d3b5cffcf84a8bdc7073dce4745d67c72629af85 Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:26 2009 -0700 vt: add an activate and lock Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
