Under what circumstances can ttys be NULL? I currently only use this code in
the RX and TX interrupt handlers, which are both enabled in the
tty_port_operations.activate() function.
Is this right for the TX handler:
static irqreturn_t ehv_bc_tty_tx_isr(int irq, void *data)
{
struct ehv_bc_data *bc = data;
struct tty_struct *ttys = tty_port_tty_get(&bc->port);
ehv_bc_tx_dequeue(bc);
if (ttys) {
tty_wakeup(ttys);
tty_kref_put(ttys);
}
return IRQ_HANDLED;
}
I just want to make sure that testing for NULL is really necessary in my
interrupt handlers.

Ok, I'll change it.

Ok.

I don't think byte channels can support SYSRQ, but I'll look into it.
