    USB: serial: fix null-pointer dereferences on disconnect · b2ca6990
    Johan Hovold authored
    Make sure serial-driver dtr_rts is called with disc_mutex held after
    checking the disconnected flag.
    
    Due to a bug in the tty layer, dtr_rts may get called after a device has
    been disconnected and the tty-device unregistered. Some drivers have had
    individual checks for disconnect to make sure the disconnected interface
    was not accessed, but this should really be handled in usb-serial core
    (at least until the long-standing tty-bug has been fixed).
    
    Note that the problem has been made more acute with commit 0998d063
    
    
    ("device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound") as the
    port data is now also NULL when dtr_rts is called resulting in further
    oopses.
