USB: usb_serial_console: allocate fake tty and termios before calling driver open() method

2008-02-01T22:34:50+00:00

The usb serial method set_termios() is called for the first time from
open() method in order to set up the termios structure with the default
device's settings, ignoring the current settings. Once it's initialized,
the next set_termios() calls will update the device with the
tty->termios settings.
Currently USB serial console code calls the driver open() method without
a tty and after that will allocate a fake tty and termios so the command
line arguments can be applied to the device
(console=ttyUSB0,115200,...). This makes the driver overwrite the
termios with the default settings and not applying the command line
options.

This patch changes usb_console_setup() to allocate the fake tty and
termios before the open() method is called.

Tested successfully with a pl2303

USB: usb_serial: clean tty reference in the last close

2008-02-01T22:34:50+00:00

When a usb serial adapter is used as console, the usb serial console
driver bumps the open_count on the port struct used but doesn't attach
a real tty to it (only a fake one temporaly). If this port is opened later
using the regular character device interface, the open method won't
initialize the port, which is the expected, and will receive a brand new
tty struct created by tty layer, which will be stored in port->tty.

When the last close is issued, open_count won't be 0 because of the
console usage and the port->tty will still contain the old tty value. This
is the last ttyUSB close so the allocated tty will be freed by the
tty layer. The usb_serial and usb_serial_port are still in use by the
console, so port_free() won't be called (serial_close() ->
usb_serial_put() -> destroy_serial() -> port_free()), so the scheduled
work (port->work, usb_serial_port_work()) will still run. And
usb_serial_port_work() does:
(...)
        tty = port->tty;
        if (!tty)
                return;

        tty_wakeup(tty);
which causes (manually copied):

[PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios

2006-12-08T16:28:57+00:00

This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

[PATCH] USB: move usb-serial.h to include/linux/usb/

USB serial outside of the kernel tree can not build properly due to
usb-serial.h being buried down in the source tree.  This patch moves the
location of the file to include/linux/usb and fixes up all of the usb
serial drivers to handle the move properly.
