| | | | | | | | | | | | | This trivial patch fixes one missing space in printk. I already fixed it about half a year ago or more, but the change (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/smpboot.c at that time) didn't made into mainline yet.

The most important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index(). Other less notable changes include: Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always. Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended. Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the port hardware has been initialized. In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial console code is still a big hack.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1291) removes a bunch of code from serial_open(), things that were rendered unnecessary by earlier patches. A missing spinlock is added to protect port->port.count, which needs to be incremented even if the open fails but not if the tty has gotten a hangup. The test for whether the hardware has been initialized, based on the use count, is replaced by a more transparent test of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED bit in the port flags.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1290) adds some missing tests. serial_down() isn't supposed to do anything if the hardware hasn't been initialized, and serial_close() isn't supposed to do anything if the tty has gotten a hangup (because serial_hangup() takes care of shutting down the hardware).

| * | usb-serial: acquire references when a new tty is installedAlan Stern2009-09-191-64/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1287) makes serial_install() be reponsible for acquiring references to the usb_serial structure and the driver module when a tty is first used. This is more sensible than having serial_open() do it, because a tty can be opened many times whereas it is installed only once, when it is created. (Not to mention that these actions are reversed when the tty is released, not when it is closed.) Finally, it is at install time that the TTY core takes its own reference to the usb_serial module, so it is only fitting that we should act the same way in regard to the lower-level serial driver.
