There might be situations where tty_ldisc_lock() has blocked, but there
is already IO on tty and it prevents line discipline changes.
It might theoretically turn into dead-lock.

Basically, provide more priority to pending tty_ldisc_lock() than to
servicing reads/writes over tty.

User-visible issue was reported by Mikulas where on pa-risc with
Debian 5 reboot took either 80 seconds, 3 minutes or 3:25 after proper
locking in tty_reopen().

<title>USB: serial: console: fix reported terminal settings</title>

<id>f51ccf46217c28758b1f3b5bc0ccfc00eca658b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The USB-serial console implementation has never reported the actual
terminal settings used. Despite storing the corresponding cflags in its
struct console, these were never honoured on later tty open() where the
tty termios would be left initialised to the driver defaults.

Unlike the serial console implementation, the USB-serial code calls
subdriver open() already at console setup. While calling set_termios()
and write() before open() looks like it could work for some USB-serial
drivers, others definitely do not expect this, so modelling this after
serial core is going to be intrusive, if at all possible.

Instead, use a (renamed) tty helper to save the termios data used at
console setup so that the tty termios reflects the actual terminal
settings after a subsequent tty open().

Note that the calls to tty_init_termios() (tty_driver_install()) and
tty_save_termios() are serialised using the disconnect mutex.

This specifically fixes a regression that was triggered by a recent
change adding software flow control to the pl2303 driver: a getty trying
to disable flow control while leaving the baud rate unchanged would now
also set the baud rate to the driver default (prior to the flow-control
change this had been a noop).

Fixes: 7041d9c3f01b ("USB: serial: pl2303: add support for tx xon/xoff flow control")

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

<id>28b0f8a6962a24ed21737578f3b1b07424635c9e</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

  INFO: task agetty:2662 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

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.

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.
