Ok, so I'm doing that and everything is great until I got to actually
modifying tty->termios.
I need to modify it from interrupt context (the usb_request's
complete() callback), but modifying the termios requires a
rw_semaphore I can't take.
I could queue_work() to do it, but then I'd have to flush the work
from another non-sleepable context in acm_disconnect() (which runs
under a spinlock).
I can't change the semaphore to a spinlock because some drivers that
use it actually wanna sleep while holding it.
Any ideas?
