Machine is Thinkpad T400 2764CTO (latest bios). When the problem happened on 3.7.3 today I rebooted into 3.8rc4 and ... freshly after reboot and plugging in PL2303 adapter the problem was already there. Didn't have to do unplug/plug cycle to make it happen. Looks like sometimes reboot cures the problem, sometimes it doesn't. Now powered off laptop and powered it on - problem gone. Connected PL2303, ran socat, disconnected PL2303 (while socat was running) -> problem happened again. Looks like it doesn't depend on adapter chip type. So to reproduce here: - boot fresh 3.8rc4 - plug in some adapter (PL2303 for example) - run "socat -ddd -s -u /dev/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0,b115200,crnl,noctty,nonblock - | logger" - it should run fine, without any error - disconnect adapter; socat should exit with error "W cannot restore terminal settings on fd 3: Input/output error" - plug in adapter again - run socat again -> this time error "E tcgetattr(3, 0x7fff21411780): Inappropriate ioctl for device" immediately always; regardless which adapter is used and if kernel module drivers for these adapters were reloaded dmesg: http://pastebin.com/r1Q5mmgt config: http://pastebin.com/8dpFFzuU lspci: http://pastebin.com/TBtUg1tW lsusb: http://pastebin.com/SueVw9CD [ 53.776047] usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd [ 53.938053] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303 [ 53.938060] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 53.938065] usb 4-1: Product: USB-Serial Controller [ 53.938068] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
