This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: n_gsm: fix wrong T1 retry count handling to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tty-n_gsm-fix-wrong-t1-retry-count-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9f2177d011f1b31152535358dcb51ff50c61b289 Author: Daniel Starke <daniel.starke@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 7 13:32:20 2022 +0200 tty: n_gsm: fix wrong T1 retry count handling [ Upstream commit f30e10caa80aa1f35508bc17fc302dbbde9a833c ] n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010. See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516 The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.7.3 states that the valid range for the maximum number of retransmissions (N2) is from 0 to 255 (both including). gsm_dlci_t1() handles this number incorrectly by performing N2 - 1 retransmission attempts. Setting N2 to zero results in more than 255 retransmission attempts. Fix gsm_dlci_t1() to comply with 3GPP 27.010.
