[PATCH 018/139] tty: Prevent deadlock in n_gsm driver

[Luis Henriques]

3.5.7.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dirkjan Bussink <d.bussink@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4d9b109060f690f5c835130ff54165ae157b3087 upstream.

This change fixes a deadlock when the multiplexer is closed while there
are still client side ports open.

When the multiplexer is closed and there are active tty's it tries to
close them with tty_vhangup. This has a problem though, because
tty_vhangup needs the tty_lock. This patch changes it to unlock the
tty_lock before attempting the hangup and relocks afterwards. The
additional call to tty_port_tty_set is needed because otherwise the
port stays active because of the reference counter.

This change also exposed another problem that other code paths don't
expect that the multiplexer could have been closed. This patch also adds
checks for these cases in the gsmtty_ class of function that could be
called.

The documentation explicitly states that "first close all virtual ports
before closing the physical port" but we've found this to not always
reality in our field situations. The GPRS / UTMS modem sometimes crashes
and needs a power cycle in that case which means cleanly shutting down
everything is not always possible. This change makes it much more robust
for our situation where at least the system is recoverable with this patch
and doesn't hang in a deadlock situation inside the kernel.

The patch is against the long term support kernel (3.4.27) and should
apply cleanly to more recent branches. Tested with a Telit GE864-QUADV2
and Telit HE910 modem.
