From 100eeae2c5ce23b4db93ff320ee330ef1d740151 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2010 23:17:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] TTY: restore tty_ldisc_wait_idle It was removed in 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc. Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called, it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of reading and goes nuts after it is woken. Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and allow the close then. We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for everybody to leave. I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless tty_ldisc_wait_idle. On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.
