Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] serial: fix IRQ chain race, baud fallback, and uartclk overflow
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 07:48:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930074850.465003-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
This series addresses three concurrency and integer overflow issues in the
serial driver core and 8250 driver:
1. Fix a mutex vs spinlock deadlock in serial8250_register_ports() during
IRQ chain setup.
2. Fix baud rate fallback in uart_get_baud_rate() when custom divisor is
in use.
3. Replace manual baud_base overflow check in uart_set_info() with
check_mul_overflow(new_info->baud_base, 16, &uartclk), preventing
32-bit unsigned arithmetic wraparound.
All 3 patches have been ported to the latest tip of mainline (551c722f4080)
and dynamically verified in QEMU KVM with CONFIG_KASAN=y.
Changes in v6:
- Use check_mul_overflow() in patch 3/3 as suggested by Jiri Slaby.
