+Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD)
+
+ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the
+ldisc because the line discipline id (c_line) in termios is untrustworthy;
+userspace may have set termios via ioctl(TCSETS*) without actually
+changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD).
+
+However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty->ldisc is
+unsafe; the ldisc ptr dereferenced may be stale if the line discipline
+is changing via ioctl(TIOCSETD) or hangup.
+
+Wait for the line discipline reference (just like read() or write())
+to retrieve the "current" line discipline id.
