I think we should make serport_serio_close() only reset the SERPORT_ACTIVE flag and have serport_ldisc_hangup() actually do: spin_lock_irqsave(&serport->lock, flags); set_bit(SERPORT_DEAD, &serport->flags); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&serport->lock, flags); wake_up_interruptible(&serport->wait); i.e. if user (via device-driver - input core - evdev - userspace chain) stops using serio port we should not kill inputattach instance right then and there, but wait for the serial port device disconnect or something else killing inputattach. Vojtech, do you recall any of this code?
