This similar condition has existed for a long time, tty_unlock(tty) must be called in
some other functions who call tty_init_dev, since tty_init_dev hold tty_lock, and does
not release it

so I think it is user responsibility to fully understand tty_init_dev; and I can add some
comments for tty_init_dev if this patch can be acceptable;


or a workaround like below:
diff --git a/drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c b/drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c
index a42a028a9d4e..2f5ad256b6ad 100644
--- a/drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c
+++ b/drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c
@@ -425,7 +425,7 @@ static void flush_to_ldisc(struct work_struct *work)
struct tty_ldisc *disc;

tty = port->itty;
- if (tty == NULL)
+ if (tty == NULL || tty->driver_data == NULL)
return;

disc = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
thanks
