Using the Linux v3.9 tag, I note that

There seems to be no maintainer for drivers/net/slip/slip.c, is that true ?

netdev seems to be the most appropriate mailing list, cfr. what
get_maintainer.pl reported, hence CC netdev added.

I am asking because sl_encaps() and slip_write_wakeup() do not handle error
codes from tty->ops->write() and a recursive stack overflow crash can occur
if the tty->ops->write() fails to write all the characters. I have some
patches to fix this but would like some feedback on an appropriate solution.
