The tty refcount patch is needed but clearly not sufficient because the system
locks up when the device is released.
Unfortunately I cannot capture any oops, this is why I went and implemented the
tty port methods in the first place, inspired by the usb serial code.
I agree the patches are extensive and a solution is needed not only for 3.10
kernels but also for 3.11.
It's not clear for me how to debug the old code further. A couple of patches
to make the debug process easier were mentioned before but I cannot find
them. Could anybody point me at them?
Thank you,
Gianluca
