<id>765e0ba62613fb90f09c1b5926750df0aa56f349</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (as1522) adds two new routines to the usb-serial core, for
registering and unregistering serial drivers.  Instead of registering
the usb_driver and usb_serial_drivers separately, with error checking
for each one, the drivers can all be registered and unregistered by a
single function call.  This reduces duplicated code.

More importantly, the new core routines change the order in which the
drivers are registered.  Currently the usb-serial drivers are all
registered first and the usb_driver is done last, which leaves a
window for problems.  A udev script may quickly add a new dynamic-ID
for a usb-serial driver, causing the corresponding usb_driver to be
probed.  If the usb_driver hasn't been registered yet then an oops
will occur.

The new routine prevents such problems by registering the usb_driver
first.  To insure that it gets probed properly for already-attached
serial devices, we call driver_attach() after all the usb-serial
drivers have been registered.

Along with adding the new routines, the patch modifies the "generic"
serial driver to use them.  Further patches will similarly modify all
the other in-tree USB serial drivers.

Do not report errors in write path if port is used as a console as this
may trigger the same error (and error report) resulting in a loop.

Add support for multiple read urbs to generic read implementation.

Use a static array of two read urbs for now which is enough to get a
50% throughput increase in one test setup.

<title>USB: serial: handle Data Carrier Detect changes</title>

Alan's commit 335f8514f200e63d689113d29cb7253a5c282967 introduced
.carrier_raised function in several drivers.  That also means
tty_port_block_til_ready can now suspend the process trying to open the serial
port when Carrier Detect is low and put it into tty_port.open_wait queue.  We
need to wake up the process when Carrier Detect goes high and trigger TTY
hangup when CD goes low.

Some of the devices do not report modem status line changes, or at least we
don't understand the status message, so for those we remove .carrier_raised
again.

Since handle_sysrq() does not take tty as argument anymore we can
drop it from usb_serial_handle_sysrq_char() as well.

As David VomLehn points out, it was possible to receive an interrupt
before clearing the free-urb flag which could lead to the urb being
incorrectly marked as busy.

For the same reason, move tx_bytes accounting so that it will never be
negative.

Note that the free-flags set and clear operations do not need any
additional locking as they are manipulated while USB_SERIAL_WRITE_BUSY
is set.
