TIOCGSERIAL is an ioctl. Thus it must be atomic. It returns
two values. Racing with set_serial it can return an inconsistent
result. The mutex must be taken.
In terms of logic the bug is as old as the driver. In terms of
code it goes back to the conversion to the get_serial and
set_serial methods.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
