hvc_open sets tty->driver_data to NULL when open fails at some point. Typically, the failure happens in hp->ops->notifier_add(). If there is a racing process which tries to open such mangled tty, which was not closed yet, the process will crash in hvc_open as tty->driver_data is NULL. All this happens because close wants to know whether open failed or not. But ->open should not NULL this and other tty fields for ->close to be happy. ->open should call tty_port_set_initialized(true) and close should check by tty_port_initialized() instead. So do this properly in this driver. So this patch removes these from ->open: * tty_port_tty_set(&hp->port, NULL). This happens on last close. * tty->driver_data = NULL. Dtto. * tty_port_put(&hp->port). This happens in shutdown and until now, this must have been causing a reference underflow, if I am not missing something.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
