[PATCHv6 0/7] tty: Hold write ldisc sem in tty_reopen()

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Wed Oct 31 2018 - 20:24:59 EST


Hi all,

Here are 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.

Mikulas, can you add your tested-by on this patches set again, please?
I tried to reproduce reboot issue on qemu-hppa and even built
cross-compiler for pa-risc.. but was unlucky in reproducing.

Thanks,
Dima

Changes since v5:
- Better commit tags
- Hopefully fixed issue with reboot on pa-risc with Debian 5

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()
