This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: mxs-auart: add spinlock around changing cts state to the 5.4-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: serial-mxs-auart-add-spinlock-around-changing-cts-st.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a415cab513a700c984ba88682b1541856db3dcb6 Author: Emil Kronborg <emil.kronborg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 20 12:15:36 2024 +0000 serial: mxs-auart: add spinlock around changing cts state [ Upstream commit 54c4ec5f8c471b7c1137a1f769648549c423c026 ] The uart_handle_cts_change() function in serial_core expects the caller to hold uport->lock. For example, I have seen the below kernel splat, when the Bluetooth driver is loaded on an i.MX28 board.
