[PATCH 0/3] Remove ASYNC_CLOSING

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Sat Dec 12 2015 - 16:50:11 EST


Hi Greg,

This series removes ASYNC_CLOSING from kernel use. However, the definition
is in a uapi header so I think it needs to stay.

The mxser driver used ASYNC_CLOSING to purge its fifo _with each
byte received_ while closing. This is clearly unnecessary but the
hangup/shutdown sequence in that driver is spaghetti and I don't have
the hardware to test (what I would consider to be) the proper fix:
cleaning up its hangup/shutdown so that clearing the fifo can be
done once in shutdown.

The isdn subsystem used ASYNC_CLOSING for unclear purposes; the
immediate effect was to prevent sending AT commands from the
emulator, but its not clear why that's necessary when closing.
Since idsn does not use the tty_port helpers, I simply added
to isdn the equivalent of an ASYNC_CLOSING flag.

Regards,
