This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
TTY: serial_core, add ->install
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: TTY: serial_core, add ->install
We need to compute the uart state only on the first open. This is
usually what is done in the ->install hook. serial_core used to do this
in ->open on every open. So move it to ->install.
As a side effect, it ensures the state is set properly in the window
after tty_init_dev is called, but before uart_open. This fixes a bunch
of races between tty_open and flush_to_ldisc we were dealing with
recently.
One of such bugs was attempted to fix in commit fedb5760648a (serial:
fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open), but it only took care of
a couple of functions (uart_start and uart_unthrottle). I was able to
reproduce the crash on a SLE system, but in uart_write_room which is
also called from flush_to_ldisc via process_echoes. I was *unable* to
reproduce the bug locally. It is due to having this patch in my queue
since 2012!

0 in rbx means tty->driver_data is NULL in uart_write_room. 0x178 is
tried to be dereferenced (0x178 >> 3 is 0x2f in rdx) at
uart_write_room+0xc4. 0x178 is exactly (struct uart_state *)NULL->refcount
used in uart_port_lock from uart_write_room.
So revert the upstream commit here as my local patch should fix the
whole family.
