This patch (as1286) changes usb_serial_get_by_index().  Now the
routine will check whether the serial device has been disconnected; if
it has then the return value will be NULL.  If the device hasn't been
disconnected then the routine will return with serial->disc_mutex
held, so that the caller can use the structure without fear of racing
against driver unloads.

This permits the scope of table_mutex in destroy_serial() to be
reduced.  Instead of protecting the entire function, it suffices to
protect the part that actually uses serial_table[], i.e., the call to
return_serial().  There's no longer any danger of the refcount being
incremented after it reaches 0 (which was the reason for having the
large scope previously), because it can't reach 0 until the serial
device has been disconnected.

Also, the patch makes serial_install() check that serial is non-NULL
before attempting to use it.

This patch (as1284) changes the referencing of the usb_serial and
usb_serial_port structures in usb-serial.c.  It's not feasible to make
the port structures keep a reference to the serial structure, because
the ports need to remain in existence when serial is released -- quite
a few of the drivers expect this.  Consequently taking a reference
to the port when the device file is open is insufficient; such a
reference would not pin serial.

To fix this, we now take a reference to serial when the device file is
opened.  The final put_device() for the ports occurs in
destroy_serial(), so that the ports will last as long as they are
needed.

The patch initializes all the port devices, including those in the
unused "fake" ports.  This makes the code more uniform because they
can all be released in the same way.  The error handling code in
usb_serial_probe() is much simplified by this approach; instead of
freeing everything by hand we can use a single usb_serial_put() call.

Also simplified is the port-release mechanism.  Instead of being two
separate routines, port_release() and port_free() can be combined into
one.

The USB layer uses tty_hangup to deal with unplugs of the physical hardware
(analogous to loss of carrier) and then frees the resources. However the
tty_hangup is asynchronous. As the hangup can sleep we can use tty_vhangup
which is the non async version to avoid freeing resources too early.

drop the port on tty->shutdown() but we can't yet do that due to sleep v

The commit 335f8514 introduced a
regression which stopped usb consoles from working correctly as a
kernel boot console as well as interactive login device.

The addition of the serial_close() which in turn calls
tty_port_close_start() will change the reference count of port.count
and warn about it.  The usb console code had previously incremented
the port.count to indicate it was making use of the device as a
console and the forced change causes a double open on the usb device
which leads to a non obvious kernel oops later on when the tty is
freed.

To fix the problem instead make use of port->console to track if the
port is in fact an active console port to avoid double initialization
of the usb serial device.  The port.count is incremented and
decremented only with in the scope of usb_console_setup() for the
purpose of the low level driver initialization.

This commit 335f8514 has stopped
properly checking if there is any usb serial associated with the tty in
the close function. It happens the close function is called by releasing
the terminal right after opening the device fails.

As an example, open fails with a non-existing device, when probe has
never been called, because the device has never been plugged. This is
common in systems with static modules and no udev.

This patch (as1254) splits up the shutdown method of usb_serial_driver
into a disconnect and a release method.

The problem is that the usb-serial core was calling shutdown during

oops when the close method tried to use memory that had been
deallocated by shutdown.

This patch (as1244) fixes a crash in usb-serial that occurs when a
sub-driver returns a positive value from its attach method, indicating
that new firmware was loaded and the device will disconnect and
reconnect.  The usb-serial core then skips the step of registering the
port devices; when the disconnect occurs, the attempt to unregister
the ports fails dramatically.

This problem shows up with Keyspan devices and it might affect others
as well.

When the attach method returns a positive value, the patch sets
num_ports to 0.  This tells usb_serial_disconnect() not to try
unregistering any of the ports; instead they are cleaned up by
destroy_serial().

This patch (as1229) fixes a few lifetime and locking problems in the
usb-serial driver.  The main symptom is that an invalid kevent is
created when the serial device is unplugged while a connection is
active.

	Ports should be unregistered when device is disconnected,
	not when the parent usb_serial structure is deallocated.

	Each open file should hold a reference to the corresponding
	port structure, and the reference should be released when
	the file is closed.

	serial->disc_mutex should be acquired in serial_open(), to
	resolve the classic race between open and disconnect.

	serial_close() doesn't need to hold both serial->disc_mutex
	and port->mutex at the same time.

	Release the subdriver's module reference only after releasing
	all the other references, in case one of the release routines
	needs to invoke some code in the subdriver module.

	Replace a call to flush_scheduled_work() (which is prone to
	deadlocks) with cancel_work_sync().  Also, add a call to
	cancel_work_sync() in the disconnect routine.

	Reduce the scope of serial->disc_mutex in serial_disconnect().
	The only place it really needs to protect is where the
	"disconnected" flag is set.

A USB-serial converter device is plugged into a system, and a process
opens it's device node.  If the device is physically removed whilst the
process still has its device node open, then other processes can
sucessfully open the now non-existent device's node.  I would expect
that open() on a device that has been physically removed should return
ENODEV.

This is manifesting itself with getty on my system.  I do the following:
1.  set up inittab to spawn getty on ttyUSB0, eg:
    T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100
2.  Plug in USB-serial converter cable
3.  Wait for a login prompt on a terminal program attached to the serial
    cable
4.  Login
5.  Pull the USB-serial converter cable from the box
6.  getty doesn't realise that ttyUSB0 no longer exists as /dev/ttyUSB0
    can still be opened.
7.  Re-insert the USB-serial converter cable
8.  You should no longer get a login prompt over the serial cable, as
    the the USB-serial cable now shows up as /dev/ttyUSB1, and getty is
    trying to talk to /dev/ttyUSB0.

The attached patch will cause open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDONLY) to return
ENODEV after the USB-serial converter has been pulled.  The patch was
created against 2.6.28.1.  I can supply it against something else if
needs be.  It is fairly simple, so should be OK.

I am using a pl2303 device, although I don't think that makes any
difference.

USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.

So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction
