Subject[PATCH 088/133] virtio: console: fix race with port unplug and open/close
Date
3.8.13.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>

commit 057b82be3ca3d066478e43b162fc082930a746c9 upstream.

There's a window between find_port_by_devt() returning a port and us
taking a kref on the port, where the port could get unplugged. Fix it
by taking the reference in find_port_by_devt() itself.

Problem reported and analyzed by Mateusz Guzik.
