Heh. Just checking. I was sure about shutdown() not being called when closing ports, but yeah, you can indeed hit this via hangup() as serial core was only half-converted over to use the tty port implementation in 2016. > > If you take a look at tty_port_shutdown() there's a hack in there for > > consoles that was added back in 2010 and that prevents shutdown() from > > called for console ports. > > > > Put perhaps you manage to hit shutdown() via some other path.

Seems we should clean up serial core so that it at least behaves consistently on hangup and close. Having someone think trough and document how these polled consoles are supposed to work would also be good and save people modifying these drivers a lot of work. If they are restricted to when the console is active, there would be no need for most of poll_init(), and we already prevent the console from being shut down on hangup() and close(). And then we now also have the detachable console mess to consider... Johan
