This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mxser: keep only !tty test in ISR to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mxser-keep-only-tty-test-in-isr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 82c5fe27ac4f267345d3f38e14d1ff5f1c154d9f Author: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 18 08:31:09 2021 +0100 mxser: keep only !tty test in ISR [ Upstream commit 274ab58dc2b460cc474ffc7ccfcede4b2be1a3f5 ] The others are superfluous with tty refcounting in place now. And they are racy in fact: * tty_port_initialized() reports false for a small moment after interrupts are enabled. * closing is 1 while the port is still alive. The queues are flushed later during close anyway. So there is no need for this special handling. Actually, the ISR should not flush the queues. It should behave as every other driver, just queue the chars into tty buffer and go on. But this will be changed later. There is still a lot code depending on having tty in ISR (and not only tty_port).
