The RS485 multipoint addressing support for some reason added a new ADDRB termios cflag which is (only!) updated from one of the RS485 ioctls. Make sure to take the termios rw semaphore for the right ioctl (i.e. set, not get). Fixes: ae50bb275283 ("serial: take termios_rwsem for ->rs485_config() & pass termios as param") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 6.0 Cc: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I did not have time to review the multipoint addressing patches at the time and only skimmed the archives now, but I can't seem to find any motivation for why a precious termios bit was seemingly wasted on ADDRB when it is only updated from the RS485 ioctls. I hope it wasn't done just to simplify the implementation of tty_get_frame_size()? Or was it a left-over from the RFC which apparently actually used termios to enable this feature? Should we consider dropping the Linux-specific ADDRB bit again?
