tty: n_gsm: fix race condition in gsmld_write()

dstarke-siemens · gregkh · commit 32dd59f96924 · 2022-07-01T10:07:40.000+02:00
The function may be used by the user directly and also by the n_gsm internal functions. They can lead into a race condition which results in interleaved frames if both are writing at the same time. The receiving side is not able to decode those interleaved frames correctly. Add a lock around the low side tty write to avoid race conditions and frame interleaving between user originated writes and n_gsm writes.
