Hi,
I have one ARM11-based board, while upgrading the kernel from 27 to
32, got the workqueue recursion warning almost, and the console get
lost. While the issue can be resolved by applying the patch "[PATCH v2]
core: workqueue: return on workqueue recursion", and I am still
struggling to find the root cause.
Following are logs:(power on the modem, then gprs dial succ, unplug
it)

one user-mode daemon will get the unplug event, and close the two
usb-serial ports,then the daemon itself.
if ignore the uevent, everyting is ok.

thanks.

The console is over serial port, while the usb modem exported 2 serial
ports .
The recursion can be avoided if introducing one dedicated work queue
thread for binder (

ing/android/binder.c;h=99010d4b3044b2c33c9d709e334b5be7871b9599;hb=andro
id-2.6.32).

I make the rild service stopped while vold daemon detect usb-modem unplugged.

Good news, and just confused while the workqueue introduced in binder, why the tty_release() triggered by its work handler, the normal case looks like following:
