If gs_close has cleared port-&gt;port.tty and gs_start_io is called
afterwards, then the function tty_wakeup will attempt to access the value
of the pointer port-&gt;port.tty which will cause a null pointer
dereference error.

To avoid this, add a null pointer check to gs_start_io before attempting
to access the value of the pointer port-&gt;port.tty.

<title>usb: gadget: u_serial: Avoid spinlock recursion in __gs_console_push</title>

When serial console over USB is enabled, gs_console_connect
queues gs_console_work, where it acquires the spinlock and
queues the usb request, and this request goes to gadget layer.
Now consider a situation where gadget layer prints something
to dmesg, this will eventually call gs_console_write() which
requires cons-&gt;lock. And this causes spinlock recursion. Avoid
this by excluding usb_ep_queue from the spinlock.

Consider a case where gserial_disconnect has already cleared
gser-&gt;ioport. And if gserial_suspend gets called afterwards,
it will lead to accessing of gser-&gt;ioport and thus causing
null pointer dereference.

Avoid this by adding a null pointer check. Added a static
spinlock to prevent gser-&gt;ioport from becoming null after
the newly added null pointer check.

strtobool() is the same as kstrtobool().
However, the latter is more used within the kernel.

In order to remove strtobool() and slightly simplify kstrtox.h, switch to
the other function name.

While at it, include the corresponding header file (&lt;linux/kstrtox.h&gt;)

put_tty_driver() is an alias for tty_driver_kref_put(). There is no need
for two exported identical functions, therefore switch all users of
old put_tty_driver() to new tty_driver_kref_put() and remove the former
for good.

<title>tty: stop using alloc_tty_driver</title>

<content type='text'>
alloc_tty_driver was deprecated by tty_alloc_driver in commit
7f0bc6a68ed9 (TTY: pass flags to alloc_tty_driver) in 2012.

I never got into eliminating alloc_tty_driver until now. So we still
have two functions for allocating drivers which might be confusing. So
get rid of alloc_tty_driver uses to eliminate it for good in the next
patch.

Note we need to switch return value checking as tty_alloc_driver uses
ERR_PTR. And flags are now a parameter of tty_alloc_driver.

alloc_tty_driver was deprecated by tty_alloc_driver in commit
7f0bc6a68ed9 (TTY: pass flags to alloc_tty_driver) in 2012.

I never got into eliminating alloc_tty_driver until now. So we still
have two functions for allocating drivers which might be confusing. So
get rid of alloc_tty_driver uses to eliminate it for good in the next
patch.

Note we need to switch return value checking as tty_alloc_driver uses
ERR_PTR. And flags are now a parameter of tty_alloc_driver.

<title>tty: don't store semi-state into tty drivers</title>

When a tty driver pointer is used as a return value of struct
console's device() hook, don't store a semi-state into global variable
which holds the tty driver. It could mean console::device() would return
a bogus value. This is important esp. after the next patch where we
switch from alloc_tty_driver to tty_alloc_driver. tty_alloc_driver
returns ERR_PTR in case of error and that might have unexpected results
as the code doesn't expect this.
