Subject: n_tty: Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode
|
|
|
|
The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for
|
|
the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST. And since
|
|
it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like
|
|
tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when
|
|
concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two
|
|
writers:
|
|
* the ECHOing from a workqueue and
|
|
* pty_write from the process
|
|
race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows.
|
|
|
|
If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is:
|
|
int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags);
|
|
struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail;
|
|
...
|
|
memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space);
|
|
...
|
|
tb->used += space;
|
|
|
|
so the race of the two can result in something like this:
|
|
A B
|
|
__tty_buffer_request_room
|
|
__tty_buffer_request_room
|
|
memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...)
|
|
tb->used += space;
|
|
memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM
|
|
|
|
B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used
|
|
increment.
|
|
|
|
Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output
|
|
concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to
|
|
serialize echo output with normal tty writes. This ensures the tty
|
|
buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and
|
|
everything is fine.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using
|
|
forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is
|
|
present in kernels at least after commit
|
|
d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc (pty: Rework the pty layer to
|
|
use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3.

js: add more info to the commit log
|
|
js: switch to bool
|
|
js: lock unconditionally
|
|
js: lock only the tty->ops->write call
