3.19.8-ckt16 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 308bbc9ab838d0ace0298268c7970ba9513e2c65 upstream.
The omap-serial driver emulates RS485 delays using software timers,
but neglects to clamp the input values from the unprivileged
ioctl(TIOCSRS485). Because the software implementation busy-waits,
malicious userspace could stall the cpu for ~49 days.
Clamp the input values to < 100ms.
Fixes: 4a0ac0f55b18 ("OMAP: add RS485 support")
