From ce4df90333c4fe65acb8b5089fdfe9b955ce976a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Starke Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2023 07:58:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tty: n_gsm: fix race condition in status line change on dead connections commit 3a75b205de43365f80a33b98ec9289785da56243 upstream. gsm_cleanup_mux() cleans up the gsm by closing all DLCIs, stopping all timers, removing the virtual tty devices and clearing the data queues. This procedure, however, may cause subsequent changes of the virtual modem status lines of a DLCI. More data is being added the outgoing data queue and the deleted kick timer is restarted to handle this. At this point many resources have already been removed by the cleanup procedure. Thus, a kernel panic occurs. Fix this by proving in gsm_modem_update() that the cleanup procedure has not been started and the mux is still alive. Note that writing to a virtual tty is already protected by checks against the DLCI specific connection state.
