faeaaa87cb532 author Luiz Fernando Capitulino 1133212567 -0200 committer Greg Kroah-Hartman 1136411315 -0800 [PATCH] USB: usbserial: race-condition fix. There is a race-condition in usb-serial driver that can be triggered if a processes does 'port->tty->driver_data = NULL' in serial_close() while other processes is in kernel-space about to call serial_ioctl() on the same port. This happens because a process can open the device while there is another one closing it. The patch below fixes that by adding a semaphore to ensure that no process will open the device while another process is closing it. Note that we can't use spinlocks here, since serial_open() and serial_close() can sleep. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman SÌ@…’ x
