Subject: [PATCH 2/3] usb console,usb-serial: fix regression use of serial->console
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:08:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1253156887-31597-3-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1253156887-31597-2-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com>
During the 2.6.32 development usb serial tty interface was changed.
This change caused the usb serial driver to crash when used as a
system console.
The open and close of the raw hardware has to be protected by the
serial->console variable so either the console code does the open and
close or the higher level tty based driver executes the open and
close.
* In serial_open() the raw open must be protected by serial->console
* In serial_down() the test_and_clear_bit must be executed before
leaving the function if the device is a serial console
* serial_release() should no longer protect for the console condition
due to the 2.6.32 interface changes. The actual low level close
protection is accounted for in serial_down()
