Hello! I have ZyXEL UNO modem which has usb acm interface. Starting with kernel version 2.6.8 the driver cdc-acm began to hand when the modem connection was dropped due to being idle. After the hang, no data could be read from the device /dev/usb/ttyACM0, but writting was ok. The led "data" was lit on the modem all the time after the disconnect (which indicates that modem has data to be read). I tracked down the problem to this: acm_read_bulk was called from usb_submit_urb(acm->readurb), _inside_ acm_tty_open, and that time acm->used was 0 which led to acm_rx_tasklet being not called, and acm_read_bulk was never called again. The problem was caused by patch in 2.6.8, which moved incrementing of acm->used to bottom of acm_tty_open. My patch to fix it is attached. When debugging the problem I noticed that debug messages sometimes have double \n and the second one is not KERN_DEBUG level, which causes it to be emitted to display. A second patch to normalize newlines in debug output is attached. -- Alexander.
