Unfortunately, I don't have any insightful thoughts about how to test this. Ideas are appreciated :)I wonder whether there is something we can do with qemu -serial pipe: ?
Good idea. I couldn't get tty_put_char() to trigger nicely, but I just hard coded one to occur, so at least now I know that this doesn't deadlock when called normally. Another suggestion Serge gave off list was to write a kernel module that implemented a driver. I'll see about doing that to see if I can force the original crash.
