[PATCH v3] tty: serial: jsm: allocate queue buffer at probe time

From: Zheyu Ma
Date: Tue Jun 15 2021 - 22:40:22 EST


In function 'neo_intr', the driver uses 'ch->ch_equeue' and
'ch->ch_reuque'. These two pointers are initialized in 'jsm_tty_open',
but the interrupt handler 'neo_intr' has been registered in the probe
progress. If 'jsm_tty_open' has not been called at this time, it will
cause null pointer dereference.

Once the driver registers the interrupt handler, the driver should be
ready to handle it.

Fix this by allocating the memory at probe time and not at open time.

This log reveals it:

Changes in v3:
- Remove useless comments
- Remove uncessary flag changes
- Keep flushing input quques in the open function

Changes in v2:
- Allocate the memory at probe time, instead of simply checking
whether it
is a null pointer.
