Subject: [PATCH] USB: usbserial: race-condition fix.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8a4613f01f5bb850cab34e3db572d97251d997b3;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[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.
