问题
在学习串口子系统，在卸载串口模块的时候，引起内核崩溃。具体的崩溃日志如下：

由上述日志来看，是由访问非法地址（0地址），造成内核崩溃。而且崩溃的函数是uart_remove_one_port，具体的偏移是0x130
uart_remove_one_port具体实现
该函数的具体承载在文件：drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c
具体的实现是：
int uart_remove_one_port(struct uart_driver *drv, struct uart_port *uport)
{struct uart_state *state = drv->state + uport->line;struct tty_port *port = &state->port;struct tty_struct *tty;int ret = 0;BUG_ON(in_interrupt());if (state->uart_port != uport)dev_alert(uport->dev, "Removing wrong port: %p != %p\n",state->uart_port, uport);mutex_lock(&port_mutex);/** Mark the port "dead" - this prevents any opens from* succeeding while we shut down the port.*/mutex_lock(&port->mutex);if (!state->uart_port) {mutex_unlock(&port->mutex);ret = -EINVAL;goto out;}uport->flags |= UPF_DEAD;mutex_unlock(&port->mutex);/** Remove the devices from the tty layer*/tty_unregister_device(drv->tty_driver, uport->line);tty = tty_port_tty_get(port);if (tty) {tty_vhangup(port->tty);tty_kref_put(tty);}/** If the port is used as a console, unregister it*/if (uart_console(uport))unregister_console(uport->cons);/** Free the port IO and memory resources, if any.*/if (uport->type != PORT_UNKNOWN)uport->ops->release_port(uport);kfree(uport->tty_groups);/** Indicate that there isn't a port here anymore.*/uport->type = PORT_UNKNOWN;state->uart_port = NULL;
out:mutex_unlock(&port_mutex);return ret;
}
dump日志文件提示，出错点在偏移为0x130(304)字节处
具体的指令与字符换算关系如下（32位系统）：
1条c语言指令（210条汇编指令-840字节）
简单语句：2~4条指令 （8~16字节）
函数调用：48条指令（1632字节）
条件判断+分支：612条指令（2448字节）
累计之后，0x130的位置在uport->ops->release_port(uport)处。
该函数是在uart_port结构体的ops变量中。具体的情况如下：
static const struct uart_ops virt_pops = {.tx_empty = virt_tx_empty,.set_mctrl = virt_set_mctrl,.get_mctrl = virt_get_mctrl,.stop_tx = virt_stop_tx,.start_tx = virt_start_tx,.stop_rx = virt_stop_rx,.startup = virt_startup,.shutdown = virt_shutdown,.set_termios = virt_set_termios,.type = virt_type,
};
如上所示，在virt_pops中，没有release_port的实现。由此在调用uart_remove_one_port的时候，由于release_port为空，导致内核崩溃
修正
在virt_pops中，增加release_port的实现：具体如下所示：
static void virt_release_port(struct uart_port *port)
{
}
static const struct uart_ops virt_pops = {.tx_empty = virt_tx_empty,.set_mctrl = virt_set_mctrl,.get_mctrl = virt_get_mctrl,.stop_tx = virt_stop_tx,.start_tx = virt_start_tx,.stop_rx = virt_stop_rx,.startup = virt_startup,.shutdown = virt_shutdown,.set_termios = virt_set_termios,.type = virt_type,.release_port = virt_release_port,
};
如上图所示，增加一个release_port的空实现。之前的问题得以解决。
