[PATCH V3 2/2] [BUGFIX] virtio/console: Add pipe_lock/unlock forsplice_write

From: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE
Date: Sun Jul 21 2013 - 23:57:10 EST


Add pipe_lock/unlock for splice_write to avoid oops by following competition:

(1) An application gets fds of a trace buffer, virtio-serial, pipe.
(2) The application does fork()
(3) The processes execute splice_read(trace buffer) and
splice_write(virtio-serial) via same pipe.

<parent> <child>
get fds of a trace buffer,
virtio-serial, pipe
|
fork()----------create--------+

splice(read) | ---+
splice(write) | +-- no competition
| splice(read) |
| splice(write) ---+
| |
splice(read) |
splice(write) splice(read) ------ competition
| splice(write)

Two processes share a pipe_inode_info structure. If the child execute
splice(read) when the parent tries to execute splice(write), the
structure can be broken. Existing virtio-serial driver does not get
lock for the structure in splice_write, so this competition will induce
oops.
