The patch titled serial8250: sanity check nr_uarts on all paths. has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was serial8250-sanity-check-nr_uarts-on-all-paths.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: serial8250: sanity check nr_uarts on all paths. From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> I had 8250.nr_uarts=16 in the boot line of a test kernel and I had a weird mysterious crash in sysfs. After taking an in-depth look I realized that CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS was set to 4 and I was walking off the end of the serial8250_ports array. Ouch!!! Don't let this happen to someone else.
