2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Alan Cox commit d2b391822a11302add9e46476f3da4e18e6de84c upstream. The USB layer uses tty_hangup to deal with unplugs of the physical hardware (analogous to loss of carrier) and then frees the resources. However the tty_hangup is asynchronous. As the hangup can sleep we can use tty_vhangup which is the non async version to avoid freeing resources too early.
