Luiz Fernando Capitulino 8a4613f01f [PATCH] USB: usbserial: race-condition fix.
There is a race-condition in usb-serial driver that can be triggered if
a processes does 'port->tty->driver_data = NULL' in serial_close() while
other processes is in kernel-space about to call serial_ioctl() on the
same port.

This happens because a process can open the device while there is
another one closing it.

The patch below fixes that by adding a semaphore to ensure that no
process will open the device while another process is closing it.

Note that we can't use spinlocks here, since serial_open() and
serial_close() can sleep.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 269bda1c12 [PATCH] USB Serial: move name to driver structure
This fixes up a lot of problems in sysfs with some of the usb serial
drivers, they had incorrect driver names.  Also saves a tiny ammount
of memory.

Create a new file just for these things, as they just get in the
way in the source files.

Greg Kroah-Hartman ea65370d02 [PATCH] USB Serial: rename usb_serial_device_type to usb_serial_driver
I'm tired of trying to explain why a "device_type" is really a driver.
This better describes exactly what this structure is.

Greg Kroah-Hartman 507ca9bc04 [PATCH] USB: add ability for usb-serial drivers to determine if their write urb is currently being used.
This removes a lot of racy and buggy code by trying to check the status of the urb.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
