+Subject: tty: Prevent ldisc drivers from re-using stale tty fields
+
+From: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com>
+
+commit dd42bf1197144ede075a9d4793123f7689e164bc upstream.
+
+Line discipline drivers may mistakenly misuse ldisc-related fields
+when initializing. For example, a failure to initialize tty->receive_room
+in the N_GIGASET_M101 line discipline was recently found and fixed [1].
+Now, the N_X25 line discipline has been discovered accessing the previous
+line discipline's already-freed private data [2].
+
+Harden the ldisc interface against misuse by initializing revelant
+tty fields before instancing the new line discipline.
