Bug Description

When using the 2.6.38-1000-linaro-omap kernel the process hangs as the open call never returns. Here is a small testcase:

#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv){
  int fd;
  fd = open("/dev/ttyO2", O_RDONLY);
  if (fd == -1) {
    perror ("open failed");
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  }
  close(fd);
  return 0;
}

Here is the stack trace of this task:

I can confirm the same on my panda; note that when this hangs I did a ctrl-d in the serial console and got the following oops:

I could reproduce this with strace cat /dev/ttyO2, it hung at the open() but responded to ^C.

I couldn't reproduce the OOPS.

I've got the Oops but only once. It looked very similar to what David posted.
