[patch 3/3] USB serial ftdi_sio: Prevent userspace DoS (CVE-2006-2936)

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>

This patch limits the amount of outstanding 'write' data that can be
queued up for the ftdi_sio driver, to prevent userspace DoS attacks (or
simple accidents) that use up all the system memory by writing lots of
data to the serial port.
