Hello, Recently, my usb-serial converter has become unusable. Attempts to open the device always fail with: open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDONLY) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) The device is a: ID 0c52:2101 Sealevel Systems, Inc. Serial Converter and uses the ftdi_sio driver. I've bisected this problem to commit 1bfee5bc86fdaecc912e06080583eddab7263df2 Author: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Sep 25 23:35:00 2010 +0200 PM / Runtime: Merge synchronous and async runtime routines I have other usb-serial converters that use other drivers and that are unaffected. I have noticed the problem on a x86_64 machine (.config here: http://pastebin.ca/2006414) and can reproduce it in kvm (with usb passthrough, .config here: http://pastebin.ca/2006416). I'll be glad to provide more info or try patches.
