The tty_port struct is part of the rpmsg_tty_port structure. The issue is that the rpmsg_tty_port structure is freed on rpmsg_tty_remove while it is still 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: nr_test.sh-389 [000] ..... 212.093752: rpmsg_tty_remove <-rpmsg_dev_ remove cat-1191 [001] ..... 212.095697: tty_release <-__fput nr_test.sh-389 [000] ..... 212.099166: rpmsg_tty_release_cport <-rpm sg_tty_remove cat-1191 [001] ..... 212.115352: rpmsg_tty_close <-tty_release cat-1191 [001] ..... 212.115371: release_tty <-tty_release_str As consequence, the port must be free only when user has released the TTY interface. This path : - Introduce the .destruct port tty ops function to release the allocated rpmsg_tty_port structure. - Introduce the .hangup tty ops function to call tty_port_hangup. - Manages the tty port refcounting to trig the .destruct port ops, - Introduces the rpmsg_tty_cleanup function to ensure that the TTY is removed before decreasing the port refcount. Fixes: 7c0408d80579 ("tty: add rpmsg driver") Signed-off-by: Arnaud Pouliquen <arnaud.pouliquen@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- delta vs V3 [1]: take into account Greg Kroah-Hartman's comments: - remove uses of tty_vhangup instead of tty_port_tty_hangup. - remove useless WARM_ON(!cport) in rpmsg_tty_cleanup. Remaining point to clarify: Is it a benefict to use tty_vhangup as done in V3 [1] instead of tty_hangup (called by tty_port_tty_hangup)? In both cases, tty_kref_put calls queue_release_one_tty making the rest of the release asynchronous. -> proposal to address this in a separate patchset if needed (introducing tty_port_tty_vhangup helper).
