#1354569 — [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 062/138] serial: omap: Prevent DoS using unprivileged ioctl(TIOCSRS485)

3.13.11-ckt36 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com>

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.
