System: FreeBSD srpca.alcatel.com.au 5.3-BETA6 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 #1: Tue Oct 5 13:52:33 EST 2004 root at srpca.alcatel.com.au:/var/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

>Description:
	The digi(4) driver locally allocates struct tty objects rather
	than using ttymalloc(9).  As a result, the tty object is not
	initialised as expected by the rest of the TTY subsystem.  In
	particular, the various mutex structures are not initialised and
	the attempt to use them during the open causes the system to
	panic.
 
	I would appreciate it if this fix was merged into 5.3.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Install a DigiBoard Xem or equivalent.
	kldload digi
	stty -a -f /dev/ttyD0.0
	[instant panic dereferencing a NULL pointer in knote()]

>Fix:
	Currently, the digi(4) driver allocates {numports} struct tty
	objects in a single block (digi_softc.ttys) and creates a
	reference to individual tty objects for each port.  This fix
	removes the 'ttys' field from the digi_softc and initialises
	the tty reference in each port using ttymalloc(9).  Other
	references to digi_softc.ttys[i] are changed to digi_softc.ports[i].tp
	and the cleanup code has be changed to call ttyrel(9) instead
	of just freeing the memory.
