From 284260f278b706364fb4c88a7b56ba5298d5973c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Starke daniel.starke@siemens.com Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 02:42:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tty: n_gsm: fix mux cleanup after unregister tty device
Internally, we manage the alive state of the mux channels and mux itself with the field member 'dead'. This makes it possible to notify the user if the accessed underlying link is already gone. On the other hand, however, removing the virtual ttys before terminating the channels may result in peer messages being received without any internal target. Move the mux cleanup procedure from gsmld_detach_gsm() to gsmld_close() to fix this by keeping the virtual ttys open until the mux has been cleaned up.
