commit 903f9db10f18f735e62ba447147b6c434b6af003 upstream.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

<title>tty: make n_tty_read() always abort if hangup is in progress</title>

commit 28b0f8a6962a24ed21737578f3b1b07424635c9e upstream.

A tty is hung up by __tty_hangup() setting file-&gt;f_op to
hung_up_tty_fops, which is skipped on ttys whose write operation isn't
tty_write().  This means that, for example, /dev/console whose write
op is redirected_tty_write() is never actually marked hung up.

Because n_tty_read() uses the hung up status to decide whether to
abort the waiting readers, the lack of hung-up marking can lead to the
following scenario.

 1. A session contains two processes.  The leader and its child.  The
    child ignores SIGHUP.

 2. The leader exits and starts disassociating from the controlling
    terminal (/dev/console).

 3. __tty_hangup() skips setting f_op to hung_up_tty_fops.

 4. SIGHUP is delivered and ignored.

 5. tty_ldisc_hangup() is invoked.  It wakes up the waits which should
    clear the read lockers of tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 6. The reader wakes up but because tty_hung_up_p() is false, it
    doesn't abort and goes back to sleep while read-holding
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 7. The leader progresses to tty_ldisc_lock() in tty_ldisc_hangup()
    and is now stuck in D sleep indefinitely waiting for
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

The following is Alan's explanation on why some ttys aren't hung up.

 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171101170908.6ad08580@alans-desktop

 1. It broke the serial consoles because they would hang up and close
    down the hardware. With tty_port that *should* be fixable properly
    for any cases remaining.

 2. The console layer was (and still is) completely broken and doens't
    refcount properly. So if you turn on console hangups it breaks (as
    indeed does freeing consoles and half a dozen other things).

As neither can be fixed quickly, this patch works around the problem
by introducing a new flag, TTY_HUPPING, which is used solely to tell
n_tty_read() that hang-up is in progress for the console and the
readers should be aborted regardless of the hung-up status of the
device.

The following is a sample hung task warning caused by this issue.

[ Upstream commit 2b022ab7542df60021ab57854b3faaaf42552eaf ]

In case that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is on and pty is used, races between
release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc work threads may happen and lead
to use-after-free condition on tty-&gt;link-&gt;port. Because SLUB_DEBUG
is turned on, freed tty-&gt;link-&gt;port is filled with POISON_FREE value.
So far without SLUB_DEBUG, port was filled with zero and flush_to_ldisc
could return without a problem by checking if tty is NULL.

commit b027e2298bd588d6fa36ed2eda97447fb3eac078 upstream.

There can be a race, if receive_buf call comes before
tty initialization completes in n_tty_open and tty-&gt;disc_data
may be NULL.

CPU0					CPU1
----					----
 000|n_tty_receive_buf_common()   	n_tty_open()
-001|n_tty_receive_buf2()		tty_ldisc_open.isra.3()
-002|tty_ldisc_receive_buf(inline)	tty_ldisc_setup()

Using ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev till disc_data
initializes completely.

<title>devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups</title>

This is more prep-work for the upcoming pty changes.  Still just code
cleanup with no actual semantic changes.

This removes a bunch pointless complexity by just having the slave pty
side remember the dentry associated with the devpts slave rather than
the inode.  That allows us to remove all the "look up the dentry" code
for when we want to remove it again.

Together with moving the tty pointer from "inode-&gt;i_private" to
"dentry-&gt;d_fsdata" and getting rid of pointless inode locking, this
removes about 30 lines of code.  Not only is the end result smaller,
it's simpler and easier to understand.

The old code, for example, depended on the d_find_alias() to not just
find the dentry, but also to check that it is still hashed, which in
turn validated the tty pointer in the inode.

That is a _very_ roundabout way to say "invalidate the cached tty
pointer when the dentry is removed".

The new code just does

	dentry-&gt;d_fsdata = NULL;

in devpts_pty_kill() instead, invalidating the tty pointer rather more
directly and obviously.  Don't do something complex and subtle when the
obvious straightforward approach will do.

The rest of the patch (ie apart from code deletion and the above tty
pointer clearing) is just switching the calling convention to pass the
dentry or file pointer around instead of the inode.

Commit e9036d066236 ("tty: Drop krefs for interrupted tty lock")
fixed a tty reference counting problem introduced in
commit 0bfd464d3fdd ("tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen"),
so v4.5.0 is correct.

However, commit d6203d0c7b73 ("tty: Refactor tty_open()") moved the
relevant code for 4.6-rc1; correct the merge.
