Hi
I'm testing the driver, based on Linux Kernel 2.6.37, for DICE's Fast
IrDA controller device. I'm using IrCOMM as the upper IrDA layer and
using PPP over it.
While testing, I'm getting the following backtrace repeatedly:
=====================================

=====================================
On analysis, I found that this is due to the change introduced in
tty_ioctl.c where the termios mutex is taken to protect against parallel
throttle/unthrottle. Probably IrCOMM stack code wasn't tested before
merging this patch.
Please suggest what should be done with the IrCOMM protocol stack code
to resolve this problem?
Thanks
