From a65a6f14dc24a90bde3f5d0073ba2364476200bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:59:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix race between probe and open Fix race between probe and open by making sure that the disconnected flag is not cleared until all ports have been registered. A call to tty_open while probe is running may get a reference to the serial structure in serial_install before its ports have been registered. This may lead to usb_serial_core calling driver open before port is fully initialised. With ftdi_sio this result in the following NULL-pointer dereference as the private data has not been initialised at open: [ 199.698286] IP: [] ftdi_open+0x59/0xe0 [ftdi_sio] [ 199.698297] *pde = 00000000 [ 199.698303] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 199.698313] Modules linked in: ftdi_sio usbserial [ 199.698323] [ 199.698327] Pid: 1146, comm: ftdi_open Not tainted 3.2.11 #70 Dell Inc.
