  thank you.

  sorry for reply late (yesterday, I have an annual leave for personal things, and not connect net).

by the way:
  does it also need check the length in function rx_get_buf ? 
  (it seems not, but I am not quite sure, can you give a confirm ?)

4779 /*
4780  * pass receive buffer (RAW synchronous mode) to tty layer
4781  * return true if buffer available, otherwise false
4782  */
4783 static bool rx_get_buf(struct slgt_info *info)
4784 {
4785         unsigned int i = info->rbuf_current;
4786         unsigned int count;
4787 
4788         if (!desc_complete(info->rbufs[i]))
4789                 return false;
4790         count = desc_count(info->rbufs[i]);
4791         switch(info->params.mode) {
4792         case MGSL_MODE_MONOSYNC:
4793         case MGSL_MODE_BISYNC:
4794         case MGSL_MODE_XSYNC:
4795                 /* ignore residue in byte synchronous modes */
4796                 if (desc_residue(info->rbufs[i]))
4797                         count--;
4798                 break;
4799         }
4800         DBGDATA(info, info->rbufs[i].buf, count, "rx");
4801         DBGINFO(("rx_get_buf size=%d\n", count));
4802         if (count)
4803                 ldisc_receive_buf(info->port.tty, info->rbufs[i].buf,
4804                                   info->flag_buf, count);
4805         free_rbufs(info, i, i);
4806         return true;
4807 }
