Subject: [PATCH] hso_serial_open hso_serial_close fixups
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:22:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48EDE993.10705@option.com> (raw)

Hi all,
After my discussion with Alan Cox this should make hot disconnection of
the hso device more stable.
Disconnection still sometimes crashes the kernel when a modem port is connected
over ppp because the large patch for the hso mutex stuff hasn't yet been accepted.
i.e. unplugging a modem while using a ppp connection is in use is much more stable for our
internally maintained driver.
Moved serial_open_count in hso_serial_open to
prevent crashes owing to the serial structure being made NULL
when hso_serial_close is called even though hso_serial_open
returned -ENODEV, Alan Cox pointed out this happens,
also put in sanity check in hso_serial_close
to check for a valid serial structure which should prevent
the most reproducable crash in the driver when the hso device
is disconnected while in use.
