commit d0bcdffcad5a22f202e3bf37190c0dd8c080ea92 upstream. n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010. See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516 The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.7.3 states that the valid range for the maximum number of retransmissions (N2) is from 0 to 255 (both including). gsm_config() fails to limit this range correctly. Furthermore, gsm_control_retransmit() handles this number incorrectly by performing N2 - 1 retransmission attempts. Setting N2 to zero results in more than 255 retransmission attempts. Fix the range check in gsm_config() and the value handling in gsm_control_send() and gsm_control_retransmit() to comply with 3GPP 27.010.

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.
