From 3ab36ab68531ad90648fdeedcaf437f121572ede Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugeniy Meshcheryakov Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:03:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] try harder to load tty ldisc driver Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called. Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code. I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1 because module ppp_async was not loaded.
