Hi,
Since upgrading to 2.6.31-rc3 from 2.6.30, my ttyUSB device number
keeps increasing on each replug. Output of udevadm monitor:

I forgot to stress that the number increases if I use the device
before unplug only. Simply yanking/replugging the connector makes the
same device number disappear/reappear. Maybe pppd does something
special, which makes the old device "stick", even though pppd dies at
the end of the session.

Can anyone say whether this is expected behaviour?
Does it actually cause any observeable problems? I expect things will
get ugly once it runs out of range.

The main problem is that I have to change my ppp config before each
pon. I guess it could be solved by some udev trickery, but didn't
want to go that route before getting sure it's expected behaviour,
which I find improbable as it depends on a pppd run in the middle.
That's also why I didn't report it as an USB problem originally.

It depends on whether a program is still holding the old device file
open when the replug occurs.

The numbers will get reused after the corresponding device files are
closed.

You might find a symlink for ttyUSB devices to the actual device node,
which does not depend on the kernel name, in:
/dev/serial/
|-- by-id
| `-- usb-067b_2303-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
`-- by-path
`-- pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:1.1.3.2:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0

I can't find the original message to reply, but the device node is
always deleted and re-created when the device goes away and comes
back.

But this is new behaviour in 2.6.31-rcX. Was something changed in this area?

The tty core and usb-serial have both undergone extensive changes,
