Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] serial: fix IRQ chain race, baud fallback, and uartclk overflow
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 08:30:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922083152.4055969-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
This series fixes three bugs in the 8250 and serial core drivers:
1. Hold hash_mutex across IRQ chain lookup, linking, and error-path
unlinking in serial_link_irq_chain() to prevent a use-after-free race
with concurrent serial_unlink_irq_chain().
2. Allow a third loop iteration (try < 3) in uart_get_baud_rate() so that
when both the requested and old baud rates are out of range and try == 1
clips the rate into termios, the clipped baud rate is evaluated and
returned on try == 2 instead of returning 0 and causing a divide-by-zero
in uart_get_divisor().
3. Reject baud_base > UINT_MAX / 16 in uart_set_info() alongside the
uartclk == 0 check so that multiplying baud_base by 16 cannot wrap
around in 32-bit unsigned arithmetic to a small non-zero uartclk.
Changes in v3:
- Patch 2/3: Collect Reviewed-by from Ilpo Järvinen.
- Patch 3/3: Add missing #include <linux/limits.h> for UINT_MAX and move
the new_info->baud_base > UINT_MAX / 16 check to the uartclk == 0 check,
as suggested by Ilpo Järvinen.
Changes in v2:
- Split the 8250_core.c and serial_core.c fixes into a 3-patch series,
add Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org, and document how each patch was tested in
QEMU, as requested by Greg Kroah-Hartman and John Ogness.
