[PATCH] tty: n_gsm: restrict tty devices to attach

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Wed Jan 24 2024 - 05:07:21 EST


syzbot is reporting sleep in atomic context, for gsmld_write() is calling
con_write() with spinlock held and IRQs disabled.

Since n_gsm is designed to be used for serial port, reject attaching to
virtual consoles and PTY devices, by checking tty's device major/minor
numbers at gsmld_open().
