Thanks for posting this. I hadn't realised quite how pear-shaped the sierra merge had gone. > April 23rd: Elina's patch to fix a bug when sending ACM commands to OBEX ports > is applied > June 3rd: Alan Cox's patch "tty-usb-use-port" is applied but undoes Elina's > April 23rd patch That patch has been in the ttydev tree for a long time so there is definitely a co-ordination problem here. It's also trivial to fix the mess here so I've just Linus a patch to sort the undone stuff. > June 4th: One patch from Alan Stern is applied to split the shutdown into > 2 functions. This patch breaks 007/008 from our current series > of 8 patches, but that is a moot point now. Alan Stern has been fixing the fact USB serial drivers crashed randomly when unloaded sometimes. There is always going to be a friction between fixing the core code and merging driver updates. Similarly Olivier Neukum's changes were fixing the fact many USB serial drivers were calling the tty layer in unsafe ways which are now caught and spew kernel diagnostics. Normally I just fix things up as I go but the 8 patch set I was sent included some changes where it really needed the original authors to take a quick glance over the changeset and tweak it, otherwise it was too likely to cause breakage. I'm quite happy to guess (and from your mail it seems I will have to) but having someone at sierra do the merge would have been preferable. The blacklist patch I'll take a look at the history of, the copy in your email is mangled (probably been "outlooked") but if the original hit the mailing lists I'll fish it out from there.
