3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@xxxxxxxxx> commit cb25505fc604292c70fc02143fc102f54c8595f0 upstream. Unregister tty device in disconnect as is required by the USB stack. By deferring unregistration to when the last tty reference is dropped, the parent interface device can get unregistered before the child resulting in broken hotplug events being generated when the tty is finally closed: KERNEL[2290.798128] remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1/2-1:3.1 (usb) KERNEL[2290.804589] remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1 (usb) KERNEL[2294.554799] remove /2-1:3.1/tty/ttyACM0 (tty) The driver must deal with tty callbacks after disconnect by checking the disconnected flag. Specifically, further opens must be prevented and this is already implemented.
