Hi

I am facing the crash while the TTY layer has received some data from
the UART device and trying to flush the data (flush_to_ldisc in
tty_buffer.c) to my customized Line Discipline.
The information in TTY structure about the line discipline functions
( like receive_buf ) getting corrupted and thus resulting in the
calling of wrong entry points / functions and crashing.
Please suggest any pointers to resolve this issue.

Thanks
Davender
