serial8250_do_set_mctrl() currently allows modifying the RTS modem control line even when RTS is used as an rs485 Transmit Enable signal. It is thus possible for user space to interfere with rs485 communication by invoking a TIOCMSET ioctl(). Ignore such change requests and retain the current RTS polarity when in rs485 mode. Note that serial8250_set_mctrl() is always called with port->lock held, so there's no risk that RTS is changed concurrently. Signed-off-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Cc: Matwey V.

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.
