[PATCH] serial: core: check uartclk for zero to avoid divide by zero

From: George Kennedy
Date: Tue Jul 16 2024 - 12:57:48 EST


Calling ioctl TIOCSSERIAL with an invalid baud_base can
result in uartclk being zero, which will result in a
divide by zero error in uart_get_divisor(). The check for
uartclk being zero in uart_set_info() needs to be done
before other settings are made as subsequent calls to
ioctl TIOCSSERIAL for the same port would be impacted if
the uartclk check was done where uartclk gets set.

Oops: divide error: 0000 PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
