The below patch fixes the ipw module in kernel 2.6.17 for me; without
this change it simply does not work at all (all but the first writes are
refused because write_urb_busy is always 1).
This problem was there in 2.6.15 as well, but at that point I used the
(updated) ipw.c, version 0.4, from
http://www.neology.co.za/products/opensource/ipwireless/ which no longer
compiles with 2.6.17. It can be made to after a few changes but
obviously it's easier if the built-in ipw driver works instead of having
to download one from the neology site.

Adds configurable waiting periods to the ipaq connection code. These are
not needed when the pocketpc device is running normally when plugged in,
but they need extra delays if they are physically connected while
rebooting.
There are two parameters :
* initial_wait : this is the delay before the driver attemts to start the
connection. This is needed because the pocktpc device takes much
longer to boot if the driver starts sending control packets too soon.
* connect_retries : this is the number of times the control urb is
retried before finally giving up. The patch also adds a 1 second delay
between retries.
I'm not sure if the cases where this patch is useful are general enough
to include this in the kernel.

This patch fixes several problems in the ipaq.c driver with connecting
and disconnecting pocketpc devices:
* The read urb stayed active if the connect failed, causing nullpointer
dereferences later on.
* If a write failed, the driver continued as if nothing happened. Now it
handles that case the same way as other usb serial devices (fix by
Luiz Fernando N. Capitulino <lcapitulino@mandriva.com.br>)

This patch limits the amount of outstanding 'write' data that can be
queued up for the ftdi_sio driver, to prevent userspace DoS attacks (or
simple accidents) that use up all the system memory by writing lots of
data to the serial port.
The original patch was by Guillaume Autran, who in turn based it on the
same mechanism implemented in the 'visor' driver. I (Ian Abbott)
re-targeted the patch to the latest sources, fixed a couple of errors,
renamed his new structure members, and updated the implementations of
the 'write_room' and 'chars_in_buffer' methods to take account of the
number of outstanding 'write' bytes. It seems to work fine, though at
low baud rates it is still possible to queue up an amount of data that
takes an age to shift (a job for another day!).

The anti user-DoS mechanism in the USB serial 'visor' driver can fail in
the following way:
visor_open: priv->outstanding_urbs = 0
visor_write: ++priv->outstanding_urbs
visor_close:
visor_open: priv->outstanding_urbs = 0
visor_write_bulk_callback: --priv->outstanding_urbs
So priv->outstanding_urbs ends up as (unsigned long)(-1). Not good!
I haven't seen this happen with the visor driver as I don't have the
hardware, but I have seen it while testing a patch to implement the same
functionality in the ftdi_sio driver (patch not yet submitted).
The fix is pretty simple: don't reinitialize outstanding_urbs in
visor_open. (Again, I haven't tested the fix in visor, but I have
tested it in ftdi_sio.)

Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag. This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time. 2.2.15 introduced
tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
only state requiring protection between these two functions.
The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
discipline receive_buf function.
Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
not universally honored, it is removed.

If the device is disconnected while serial_open() is executing and

kref_put() call in the 'bailout_kref_put' label will free the memory
pointed out by 'port'.
The subsequent dereferences in the 'bailout_kref_put' label will be
invalid.
The fix is just to assure kref_put() is called after any 'port' usage.
