tty_set_termios() has the following WARN_ON which can be triggered with a syscall to invoke TIOCSETD __NR_ioctl. WARN_ON(tty->driver->type == TTY_DRIVER_TYPE_PTY && tty->driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER); Reference: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=2410d22f1d8e5984217329dd0884b01d99e3e48d Johan Hovold said: "The problemm started with commit 7721383f4199 ("Bluetooth: hci_uart: Support operational speed during setup") which introduced a new way for how tty_set_termios() could end up being called for a master pty." Fix it by by preventing setting the HCI line discipline for PTYs in hci_uart_tty_open(). Looked into keying off of tty and ldisc ops, and couldn't find any that would be conclusive. Checking tty as such clearly tags the reason for rejecting the request to set ldisc.
