Nope. Commit 966031f340185edd ("n_tty: fix EXTPROC vs ICANON interaction with
TIOCINQ (aka FIONREAD)") is "Wed Dec 20 17:57:06 2017 -0800" but the last
occurrence on linux.git (commit 008464a9360e31b1 ("Merge branch 'for-linus' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid")) is only a few days ago
("Wed May 9 10:49:52 2018 -1000").

The last occurrence on linux.git is considered as a duplicate of
[upstream] INFO: rcu detected stall in n_tty_receive_char_special
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=3d7481a346958d9469bebbeb0537d5f056bdd6e8
which we already have a reproducer at
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/syzkaller-bugs/O4DbPiJZFBY/YCVPocx3AgAJ
and debug output is available at
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/syzkaller-bugs/O4DbPiJZFBY/TxQ7WS5ZAwAJ .
We are currently waiting for comments from Peter Hurley who added that code.
