Could I persuade you to also try this patch for ppp_synctty.c?
If I remember correctly, you were using this module for PPPoE.

It also fixes the softirq warning, but from a different angle.
The tty_io.c patch will not be accepted until tty locking is
completely reworked (which won't happen anytime soon).
The patch below mirrors changes to ppp_async.c which have
already been accepted.

The ppp_synctty patch also fixes some callbacks to allow
calls from hard interrupt context. I have been
banging on it for a week with no problems.

So, if possible, revert the tty_io.c patch, apply this one, and
continue your testing.

Thanks,
Paul
