This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-

change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-
bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how

Title:
  Console got stuck using serial tty after logout

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The agetty stopped working using serial tty when user logged out, especially 
if there is a remained process. The agetty failed to open tty device due to 
serial port used by previous process was not released.

  [Test Case]
  1. Run background processes from serial console
  $ while true; do sleep 10; done &

  2. Log out
  $ logout

  3. Read journal log by journalctl | tail
  Jan 28 16:07:01 ubuntu systemd[1]: Stopped Serial Getty on ttyAMA0.
  Jan 28 16:07:01 ubuntu systemd[1]: Started Serial Getty on ttyAMA0.
  Jan 28 16:07:02 ubuntu agetty[1643]: /dev/ttyAMA0: not a tty

  [Fix]
  The upstream has a fix since 4.20-rc6, which turns off TTY_IO_ERROR flag if 
port comes from console. The commit is cherry-picked by

  
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/tty/tty_port.c?h=v4.20-rc6&id=2a48602615e0a2f563549c7d5c8d507f904cf96e

  [Regression Potential]
  Should be none, and it's regression becoz 4.4 kernel didn't have this case.
