Hi Shuah,

tty_set_termios() has the following WARN_ON which can be triggered with a
syscall to invoke TIOCSETD __NR_ioctl.

WARN_ON(tty->driver->type == TTY_DRIVER_TYPE_PTY &&
tty->driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER);
Reference: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=2410d22f1d8e5984217329dd0884b01d99e3e48d

"The problem started with commit 7721383f4199 ("Bluetooth: hci_uart: Support
operational speed during setup") which introduced a new way for how
tty_set_termios() could end up being called for a master pty."

Fix it by by preventing setting the HCI line discipline for PTYs in
hci_uart_tty_open().

this comment is wrong. The result of setting the HCI line discipline is a call into hci_uart_tty_open. You have to check ops->write and ops->set_termios since both are required. That is it.

I will fix the comment.


- if (tty->ops->write == NULL)
+ if (tty->ops->write == NULL || tty->ops->set_termios == NULL)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;

And while at it, change this to (!tty->ops->write).


Okay. I will fix both.

thanks,
