[PATCHv5 0/7] tty: Hold write ldisc sem in tty_reopen()

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 19:53:05 EST


Hi all,

Three fixes that worth to have in the @stable, as they were hit by
different people, including Arista on v4.9 stable.

And for linux-next - adding lockdep asserts for line discipline changing
code, verifying that write ldisc sem will be held forthwith.

The last patch is an optional and probably, timeout can be dropped for
read_lock(). I'll do it if everyone agrees.
(Or as per discussion with Peter in v3, just convert ldisc to
a regular rwsem).

Thanks,
Dima

Changes since v4:
- back to lock ldisc with (5*HZ) timeout in tty_reopen()
(LKP report link: lkml.kernel.org/r/<1536940609.3185.29.camel@xxxxxxxxxx>)
- reordered 3/7 with 2/7 for LKP robot

Changes since v3:
- Added tested-by Mark Rutland (thanks!)
- Dropped patch with smp_wmb() - wrong idea
- lockdep_assert_held() should be actually lockdep_assert_held_exclusive()
- Described why tty_ldisc_open() can be called without ldisc_sem held
for pty slave end (o_tty).
- Added Peter's patch for dropping self-made lockdep annotations
- Fix for a reader(s) of ldisc semaphore waiting for an active reader(s)

Changes since v2:
- Added reviewed-by tags
- Hopefully, fixed reported by 0-day issue.
- Added optional fix for wait_readers decrement

Changes since v1:
- Added tested-by/reported-by tags
- Dropped 3/4 (locking tty pair for lockdep sake),
Because of that - not adding lockdep_assert_held() in tty_ldisc_open()
- Added 4/4 cleanup to inc tty->count only on success of
tty_ldisc_reinit()
- lock ldisc without (5*HZ) timeout in tty_reopen()
