From 7deb39ed8d9494ea541bcaa69b56036a94f79dc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Pfaff Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:33:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] serial_core: fix uart PORT_UNKNOWN handling While porting a RS485 driver from 2.6.29 to 3.14, i noticed that the serial tty driver could break it by using uart ports that it does not own : 1. uart_change_pm ist called during uart_open and calls the uart pm function without checking for PORT_UNKNOWN. The fix is to move uart_change_pm from uart_open to uart_port_startup. 2. The return code from the uart request_port call in uart_set_info is not handled properly, leading to the situation that the serial driver also thinks it owns the uart ports. This can triggered by doing following actions : setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none # release the uart ports modprobe lirc-serial # or any other device that uses the uart setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550 # gives no error and the uart tty driver # can use the ports as well Signed-off-by: Thomas Pfaff Reviewed-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-format-patch failed
