TTY: serial, move locking in uart_close
So now, when we handle CLOSING flag, there is no point to hold port->mutex over the start of uart_close. Yes, there are still several things to reason about: * port->count etc is and always was protected by a spinlock * ->stop_rx is protected by a spinlock. Otherwise it would race with interrupts. * uart_wait_until_sent -- that one is already called without port->mutex from set_termios and tty_set_ldisc. Should anything be protected there, it would be tx_empty. And by a spinlock. 8250 does this internally... This step is needed to fix system stalls. To not create an AB-BA lock dependency (see next patches). Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
