From fce4877a6792ad72b88f6fd7556d19da5f20364d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:54:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix USB kref leak When we close we must clear the extra reference we got when we read port->tty. Setting the port tty NULL will clear the kref held by the driver but not the one we obtained ourselves while doing the lookup.
