* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6:
Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissions
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| | |
This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.
This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

The WARN_ON() that was added to tty_reopen can be triggered in the specific
case of a hangup occurring during a re-open of a tty which is not in the
middle of being otherwise closed.
In that case however the WARN() is bogus as we don't hold the neccessary
locks to make a correct decision.
The case we should be checking is "if the ldisc is not changing and reopen
is occuring". We could drop the WARN_ON but for the moment the debug is more
valuable even if it means taking a mutex as it will find any other cases.

There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially
with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the
code than simply try and patch it up.
This patch
- splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly
later)
- introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device
- fixes the complete mess that hangup caused
- implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking
There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but
at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems.
This fixes the following known bugs
- hang up can leak ldisc references
- hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way
- pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change
- reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded
and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports.
I'm sure it also adds the odd new one.

Costantino Leandro found a bug in tty_find_polling_driver and provided a
patch that fixed the crash but not the underlying bug. This fixes the
underlying bug where the list walk corrupts the values it is using on a
match but then reuses them if the open fails.

We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().
task_session_nr() has no callers since
2e2ba22ea4fd4bb85f0fa37c521066db6775cbef, we can remove it.
task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and
fs/coda.
This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.
The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.

Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
protection, or with no protection at all. This patch causes all f_flags
changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of
f_lock. This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of
longstanding (if microscopic) races.

__tty_open could return (to userspace) holding the tty_mutex thanks to a
regression introduced by 4a2b5fddd53b80efcb3266ee36e23b8de28e761a ("Move
tty lookup/reopen to caller").
This was found by bisecting an fsfuzzer problem. Admittedly I have no
idea how it managed to tickle this 100% reliably, but it is clearly a
regression and when hit leaves the box in a completely unusable state.
This patch lets the fsfuzzer test complete every time.

Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when
the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens
frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C)
and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline.
Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all
ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the
loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between
tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately
written to the tty driver.
The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need
to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column
position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output,
since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written.
Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code
to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the
Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks.
Highlights are:
* Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full
- continuous program output can block echo
* Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S)
- (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output)
* Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not
split up by interleaved program output
* Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to
the tty driver
* Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline

AUDIT_TTY records currently log all data read by processes marked for
TTY input auditing, even if the data was "pushed back" using the TIOCSTI
ioctl, not typed by the user.
This patch records all TIOCSTI calls to disambiguate the input. It
generates one audit message per character pushed back; considering
TIOCSTI is used very rarely, this simple solution is probably good
enough. (The only program I could find that uses TIOCSTI is mailx/nail
in "header editing" mode, e.g. using the ~h escape. mailx is used very
rarely, and the escapes are used even rarer.)

Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces. With multiple
devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches
to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help
simplify devpts implementation.
Changelog[v3]:
- minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates
- rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes
- pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help
cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch)

Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when
they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt
sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe.
Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which
is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown
method is tied into the refcounting.
Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic.
Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now
have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree
free up paths.

Kanru Chen posted a patch versus the old code which deals with the case
where you resize the pty side of a pty/tty pair. In that situation the
termios data is updated for both pty and tty but the locks are not held
for the right side.
This implements the fix differently against the updated tty code. Patch
by self but the hard bit (noticing and fixing the bug) is thanks to Kanru
Chen.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
It seems that tty was already free in disassocate_ctty when it tries
to dereference tty->driver.
After moving the lock_kernel before the mutex_unlock, I can no longer
reproduce the problem.
[ This is a temporary partial fix for the documented and long standing
race in disassociate_tty. This stops most problem cases for now.
For the next release the -next tree has an initial implementation of
kref counting for tty structures and this quickfix will be dropped.
