This is the original patch i had posted: The drain patch merge was a side-track and you were CC:d as you were part of the original thread. You did however remove the locking on kfifo_len that the original author had put there with the exact patch you're quoting: > diff -u -N -r -p old/drivers/usb/serial/generic.c new/drivers/usb/serial/generic.c > --- old/drivers/usb/serial/generic.c 2009-12-23 08:54:06.966476248 +0100 > +++ new/drivers/usb/serial/generic.c 2009-12-23 09:06:25.778474708 +0100 > @@ -276,7 +276,7 @@ static int usb_serial_generic_write_star > if (port->write_urb_busy) > start_io = false; > else { > - start_io = (kfifo_len(port->write_fifo) != 0); > + start_io = (kfifo_len(&port->write_fifo) != 0); > port->write_urb_busy = start_io; > } > spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); > @@ -285,7 +285,7 @@ static int usb_serial_generic_write_star > return 0; > > data = port->write_urb->transfer_buffer; > - count = kfifo_out_locked(port->write_fifo, data, port->bulk_out_size, &port->lock); > + count = kfifo_out_locked(&port->write_fifo, data, port->bulk_out_size, &port->lock); > usb_serial_debug_data(debug, &port->dev, __func__, count, data); > > /* set up our urb */ > @@ -345,7 +345,7 @@ int usb_serial_generic_write(struct tty_ > return usb_serial_multi_urb_write(tty, port, > buf, count); > > - count = kfifo_in_locked(port->write_fifo, buf, count, &port->lock); > + count = kfifo_in_locked(&port->write_fifo, buf, count, &port->lock); > result = usb_serial_generic_write_start(port); > > if (result >= 0) > @@ -370,7 +370,7 @@ int usb_serial_generic_write_room(struct > (serial->type->max_in_flight_urbs - > port->urbs_in_flight); > } else if (serial->num_bulk_out) > - room = port->write_fifo->size - kfifo_len(port->write_fifo); > + room = kfifo_avail(&port->write_fifo); > spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); > > dbg("%s - returns %d", __func__, room); > @@ -391,7 +391,7 @@ int usb_serial_generic_chars_in_buffer(s > chars = port->tx_bytes_flight; > spin_unlock_irqrestore(&port->lock, flags); > } else if (serial->num_bulk_out) > - chars = kfifo_len(port->write_fifo); > + chars = kfifo_len(&port->write_fifo); Here's the change.
