[PATCH 4.14 25/68] tty: Handle problem if line discipline does not have receive_buf

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jan 29 2019 - 06:48:28 EST


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

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 27cfb3a53be46a54ec5e0bd04e51995b74c90343 upstream.

Some tty line disciplines do not have a receive buf callback, so
properly check for that before calling it. If they do not have this
callback, just eat the character quietly, as we can't fail this call.
