This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xhci: Fix Kernel oops in xhci dbgtty to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 7fc65d4c2ba9e5006c629669146c6876b65aa233 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhengjun Xing <zhengjun.xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:55:34 +0300 Subject: xhci: Fix Kernel oops in xhci dbgtty tty_unregister_driver may be called more than 1 time in some hotplug cases,it will cause the kernel oops. This patch checked dbc_tty_driver to make sure it is unregistered only 1 time.
