Hi,

much better IMO.

In current implementation the tty_port struct is part of the

freed on rpmsg_tty_remove but also referenced in the tty_struct.
Its release is not predictable due to workqueues.

For instance following ftrace shows that rpmsg_tty_close is called after
rpmsg_tty_release_cport:

Can't this fail? Like when racing with removal?

You should not call tty_port_destroy when you use refcounting. The port is already destroyed when ->destruct() is called. (It has currently no bad effect calling it twice on a port though.)

Couldn't you just put the port here? And inline rpmsg_tty_release_cport into the new rpmsg_tty_destruct_port?

thanks,
