Hence reconnecting the device results in creation of /dev/ttyACM(x+1). The same happens when the system is hibernated during a PPP connection. This memory leak is due to the fact that when the tty is hung up, tty_port_close_start() returns always zero, and acm_tty_close() never reaches the point where acm_tty_unregister() is called. Here is a fix for this. Signed-off-by: Francesco Lavra <francescolavra@interfree.it> Acked-by: Oliver Neukum <oliver@neukum.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
