Currently, when the tty is hungup, the ldisc is re-instanced; ie., the current instance is destroyed and a new instance is created. The purpose of this design was to guarantee a valid, open ldisc for the lifetime of the tty. However, now that tty buffers are owned by and have lifetime equivalent to the tty_port (since v3.10), any data received immediately after the ldisc is re-instanced may cause continued driver i/o operations concurrently with the driver's hangup() operation. For drivers that shutdown h/w on hangup, this is unexpected and usually bad. For example, the serial core may free the xmit buffer page concurrently with an in-progress write() operation (triggered by echo). With the existing stable and robust ldisc reference handling, the cleaned-up tty_reopen(), the straggling unsafe ldisc use cleaned up, and the preparation to properly handle a NULL tty->ldisc, the ldisc instance can be destroyed and only re-instanced when the tty is re-opened. If the tty was opened as /dev/console or /dev/tty0, the original behavior of re-instancing the ldisc is retained (the 'reinit' parameter to tty_ldisc_hangup() is true). This is required since those file descriptors are never hungup. This patch has neglible impact on userspace; the tty file_operations ptr is changed to point to the hungup file operations _before_ the ldisc instance is destroyed, so only racing file operations might now retrieve a NULL ldisc reference (which is simply handled as if the hungup file operation had been called instead -- see "tty: Prepare for destroying line discipline on hangup"). This resolves a long-standing FIXME and several crash reports. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |
