Hi,
We are having problems with the usb-serial ipaq driver in 2.6.16 (debian
backports 2.6.16-1-686, but also reproducible with self-compiled
kernel.org kernel)
Sometimes, we get the following on disconnect:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 723d4ec3

I don't know enough about the tty system to find the problem, but it
seems to me that the tty structure might be released too soon.
We have a hotplug script that starts ppp on connect, and we can
reproduce this by repeatedly plugging and unplugging the ipaq.

Can you duplicate this on 2.6.17-rc4? A number of tty changes went into
that release that should have fixed this issue.
thanks,

I'll try it in the morning. In the meantime, we found some other
problems in ipaq.c : apparently pocketpc accepts usb enumeration long
before it accepts usb-serial commands (sometimes 50 or more seconds),
which makes ipaq_open fail. When it fails, the read urb is not killed,
while the associated structures are freed, which gives a panic when
the urb completes. The following patch solves that :
Since changing this, I also have not seen the original problem anymore,
but I will do some more testing tomorrow.

I cannot reproduce the original problem anymore with my patch applied
