[ Upstream commit13b18d3590] A bug was introduced by commitb3b5764618("tty: serial_core: convert uart_open to use tty_port_open"). It caused a constant warning printed into the system log regarding the tty and port counter mismatch: [ 21.644197] ttyS ttySx: tty_port_close_start: tty->count = 1 port count = 2 in case if session hangup was detected so the warning is printed starting from the second open-close iteration. Particularly the problem was discovered in situation when there is a serial tty device without hardware back-end being setup. It is considered by the tty-serial subsystems as a hardware problem with session hang up. In this case uart_startup() will return a positive value with TTY_IO_ERROR flag set in corresponding tty_struct instance. The same value will get passed to be returned from the activate() callback and then being returned from tty_port_open(). But since in this case tty_port_block_til_ready() isn't called the TTY_PORT_ACTIVE flag isn't set (while the method had been called before tty_port_open conversion was introduced and the rest of the subsystem code expected the bit being set in this case), which prevents the uart_hangup() method to perform any cleanups including the tty port counter setting to zero. So the next attempt to open/close the tty device will discover the counters mismatch. In order to fix the problem we need to manually set the TTY_PORT_ACTIVE flag in case if uart_startup() returned a positive value. In this case the hang up procedure will perform a full set of cleanup actions including the port ref-counter resetting.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
