Subject: [PATCH 3.2 004/115] net: irda: Fix use-after-free in irtty_open()

3.2.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Peter Hurley <peter@...leysoftware.com>

commit 401879c57f01cbf2da204ad2e8db910525c6dbea upstream.

The N_IRDA line discipline may access the previous line discipline's closed
and already-fre private data on open [1].

The tty->disc_data field _never_ refers to valid data on entry to the
line discipline's open() method. Rather, the ldisc is expected to
initialize that field for its own use for the lifetime of the instance
(ie. from open() to close() only).
