commit 4291086b1f081b869c6d79e5b7441633dc3ace00 upstream.
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

commit dab73b4eb9ef924a2b90dab84e539076d82b256f upstream.
I meet emacs hang in start if I do the operation below:
1: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
2: emacs BigFile
3: Press CTRL-S follow 2 immediately
Then emacs hang on, CTRL-Q can't resume, the terminal
hang on, you can do nothing with this terminal except
close it.
The reason is before emacs takeover control the tty,
we use CTRL-S to XOFF it. Then when emacs takeover the
control, it may don't use the flow-control, so emacs hang.
This patch fix it.
This patch will fix a kind of strange tty relation hang problem,
I believe I meet it with vim in ssh, and also see below bug report:

commit e9490e93c1978b6669f3e993caa3189be13ce459 upstream.
Change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON and return in case of tty->read_buf==NULL. We want to track a
couple of long standing reports of this but at the same time we can avoid killing the box.

Unthrottling the TTY during close ends up enabling interrupts
on a device not on the active list, which will never have the
interrupts cleared. Doctor, it hurts when I do this.

With the previous patch, we fixed another bug where read_buf was freed
while we still was in n_tty_read. We currently check whether read_buf
is NULL at the start of the function. Add one more check after we wake
up from waiting for input.

This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c.
It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.
It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").
It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.
And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
"It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a
large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
data in the quoted bits further down).
...
Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
process that could have emptied the PTY."
which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.
Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of
bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts
the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes
on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB
serial gadget driver.

Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.
With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.
Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should
have been doing anyway.
This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592
which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power
and CPU for no good reason.

The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char
driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
