Sorry about that. Thought it was a bit odd I didn't hear anything from
you actually. ;) Everything was posted to linux-serial (and Alan
initially), but I'll remember to CC you in the future as well.

As Peter also mentioned, this is how serial_core (and another seven tty
drivers) work today.
There are currently seven drivers (counting usb-serial as one) that
manipulate DTR at open/close but do not drop DTR on hangup, and five of
those (including usb-serial) don't do it because they use the tty_port
implementation.

You have a point in that it might be better to do it the other way round
and not touch DTR unless we know for sure it was requested. [ But see my
answer to you next question as well. ]
Several drivers (including serial_core) had a similar construct in their
shutdown() but tty is never NULL when called from hangup in those cases.

Nothing, I'll get a new reference within the port lock section as you
just suggested elsewhere in this thread.
But this should never be the case when using both tty_port_close and
tty_port_hangup, as then port->tty will only be NULL if the port has
already been shut down, right?

Yes, I did. First, the order should not matter for blocked opens as they
will exit their wait loops based on tty_hung_up_p(filp) either way.
As for delta_msr_wait the changed order is actually preferred as it
allows the waiting process to return based on ASYNC_INITIALIZED. This is
also the order used by serial_core. Note however that the current
serial_core TIOCMIWAIT is broken in that it doesn't return on hangups at
all.
Perhaps I should separate this to a patch of its own, and send a fix
for serial_core TIOCMIWAIT as well.
Thanks,
Johan
