From acfa747baf73922021a047f2d87a2d866f5dbab5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 10:16:54 +0100 Subject: TTY: open/hangup race fixup Like in the "TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing" patch, this one fixes a TTY WARNING as described in the option 1) there: 1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this section tty_lock is held. However tty_lock is temporarily dropped in the middle of the function by tty_ldisc_hangup. The fix is to introduce a new flag which we set during the unlocked window and check it in tty_reopen too. The flag is TTY_HUPPING and is cleared after TTY_HUPPED is set. While at it, remove duplicate TTY_HUPPED set_bit. The one after calling ops->hangup seems to be more correct. But anyway, we hold tty_lock, so there should be no difference. Also document the function it does that kind of crap. Nicely reproducible with two forked children: static void do_work(const char *tty) { if (signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN) == SIG_ERR) exit(1); setsid(); while (1) { int fd = open(tty, O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY); if (fd < 0) continue; if (ioctl(fd, TIOCSCTTY)) continue; if (vhangup()) continue; close(fd); } exit(0); } Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Reported-by: Reported-by: Kyle McMartin Cc: Alan Cox Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- include/linux/tty.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/tty.h b/include/linux/tty.h index c7ea9bc8897..021bfd2f086 100644 --- a/include/linux/tty.h +++ b/include/linux/tty.h @@ -367,6 +367,7 @@ struct tty_file_private { #define TTY_HUPPED 18 /* Post driver->hangup() */ #define TTY_FLUSHING 19 /* Flushing to ldisc in progress */ #define TTY_FLUSHPENDING 20 /* Queued buffer flush pending */ +#define TTY_HUPPING 21 /* ->hangup() in progress */ #define TTY_WRITE_FLUSH(tty) tty_write_flush((tty)) -- cgit v1.2.3
