While rebinding a uart device in a loop I noticed we may see a tx related race on uart_remove_one_port(): uart_write from n_tty_write n_tty_write from file_tty_write.constprop.0 file_tty_write.constprop.0 from vfs_write vfs_write from ksys_write ksys_write from ret_fast_syscall Let's disallow tx on port->UPF_DEAD. This flag gets set before we start tearing down the port in uart_remove_one_port().
