I did not actually run it yet, but at first sight it seems that it will
mishandle the ASYNC_CLOSING_WAIT_NONE case.

I attach patch 0002 which should handle all cases. I also inverted the
logic of the CAP_SYS_ADMIN test, so that the delays are changed only
if the rounded values (in 1/100th of seconds) are actually changed.

While I was there, I checked what other drivers do (it seems that many
have the same issue). Something I also noticed is that the units are
also maybe mishandled: internally the values seem to be in 'jiffies',
not in msecs. See for instance:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/701a9c8092ddf299d7f90ab2d66b19b4526d1186/drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c#L780

So I added patch 0001 that uses the jiffies conversion functions. If
you prefer to discuss this in a separate thread please tell me, I will
redo just patch 0002 without this change.

Yes, no problem. Thank you.
I hope my patches follow the required format, I'm not sure about all
the details.

Regards,
Anthony

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] USB: cdc-acm: fix close_delay and closing_wait units in
 TIOCSSERIAL

close_delay and closing_wait are specified in hundredth of a second but stored
internally in jiffies. Use the jiffies_to_msecs() and msecs_to_jiffies()
functions to convert from each other.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] USB: cdc-acm: fix rounding error in TIOCSSERIAL

Quoting the bug reporter:

By default, tty_port_init() initializes those parameters to a multiple
of HZ. For instance in line 69 of tty_port.c:
   port->close_delay = (50 * HZ) / 100;
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/tty/tty_port.c#L69

With e.g. CONFIG_HZ = 250 (as this is the case for Ubuntu 18.04
linux-image-4.15.0-37-generic), the default setting for close_delay is
thus 125.

When ioctl(fd, TIOCGSERIAL, &s) is executed, the setting returned in
user space is '12' (125/10). When ioctl(fd, TIOCSSERIAL, &s) is then
executed with the same setting '12', the value is interpreted as '120'
which is different from the current setting and a EPERM error may be
raised by set_serial_info() if !CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c#L919
