Subject: [PATCH] usb-serial: fix oti6858.c segfault in termios handling
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:21:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12789.1185351681.852842@server2.beamnet.de> (raw)
The oti6858 usb serial driver should use
kernel_termios_to_user_termios/
user_termios_to_kernel_termios to avoid segfaults because the kernel
uses a structure differing from that of user space with a different
size.

I'm don't know the least thing about the type casting (it is lifted
from kobil_sct.c), but I do get better success with the patch...
