commit 7353cad7ee4deaefc16e94727e69285563e219f6 upstream.
The write() callback can be called in interrupt context (e.g. when used
as a console) so interrupts must be disabled while holding the port lock
to prevent a possible deadlock.
Fixes: e81ee637e4ae ("usb-serial: possible irq lock inversion (PPP vs. usb/serial)")
Fixes: 507ca9bc0476 ("[PATCH] USB: add ability for usb-serial drivers to determine if their write urb is currently being used.")

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 Restructured Text 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.
