Protect tty drivers list with tty_mutex
Additions and removal from tty_drivers list were just done as well as iterating on it for /proc/tty/drivers generation. testing: modprobe/rmmod loop of simple module which does nothing but tty_register_driver() vs cat /proc/tty/drivers loop BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b printing eip: c01cefa7 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT last sysfs file: devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb5/5-0:1.0/bInterfaceProtocol Modules linked in: ohci_hcd af_packet e1000 ehci_hcd uhci_hcd usbcore xfs CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c01cefa7>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010297 (2.6.21-rc4-mm1 #4) EIP is at vsnprintf+0x3a4/0x5fc eax: 6b6b6b6b ebx: f6cb50f2 ecx: 6b6b6b6b edx: fffffffe esi: c0354700 edi: f6cb6000 ebp: 6b6b6b6b esp: f31f5e68 ds: 007b es: 007b fs: 00d8 gs: 0033 ss: 0068 Process cat (pid: 31864, ti=f31f4000 task=c1998030 task.ti=f31f4000) Stack: 00000000 c0103f20 c013003a c0103f20 00000000 f6cb50da 0000000a 00000f0e f6cb50f2 00000010 00000014 ffffffff ffffffff 00000007 c0354753 f6cb50f2 f73e39dc f73e39dc 00000001 c0175416 f31f5ed8 f31f5ed4 0ee00000 f32090bc Call Trace: [<c0103f20>] restore_nocheck+0x12/0x15 [<c013003a>] mark_held_locks+0x6d/0x86 [<c0103f20>] restore_nocheck+0x12/0x15 [<c0175416>] seq_printf+0x2e/0x52 [<c0192895>] show_tty_range+0x35/0x1f3 [<c0175416>] seq_printf+0x2e/0x52 [<c0192add>] show_tty_driver+0x8a/0x1d9 [<c01758f6>] seq_read+0x70/0x2ba [<c0175886>] seq_read+0x0/0x2ba [<c018d8e6>] proc_reg_read+0x63/0x9f [<c015e764>] vfs_read+0x7d/0xb5 [<c018d883>] proc_reg_read+0x0/0x9f [<c015eab1>] sys_read+0x41/0x6a [<c0103e4e>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0x99 ======================= Code: 00 8b 4d 04 e9 44 ff ff ff 8d 4d 04 89 4c 24 50 8b 6d 00 81 fd ff 0f 00 00 b8 a4 c1 35 c0 0f 46 e8 8b 54 24 2c 89 e9 89 c8 eb 06 <80> 38 00 74 07 40 4a 83 fa ff 75 f4 29 c8 89 c6 8b 44 24 28 89 EIP: [<c01cefa7>] vsnprintf+0x3a4/0x5fc SS:ESP 0068:f31f5e68 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@sw.ru> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
