-Subject: [PATCH 1/1] TTY: don't allow reopen when ldisc is changing
-Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2010 18:16:23 +0100

-There are many WARNINGs like the following reported nowadays:
-WARNING: at drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1331 tty_open+0x2a2/0x49a()
-Hardware name: Latitude E6500
-Modules linked in:
-Pid: 1207, comm: plymouthd Not tainted 2.6.37-rc3-mmotm1123 #3

-This means tty_reopen is called without TTY_LDISC set. For further
-considerations, note tty_lock is held in tty_open. TTY_LDISC is cleared in:
-1) __tty_hangup from tty_ldisc_hangup to tty_ldisc_enable. During this
-section tty_lock is held.
-
-2) tty_release via tty_ldisc_release till the end of tty existence. If
-tty->count <= 1, tty_lock is taken, TTY_CLOSING bit set and then
-tty_ldisc_release called. tty_reopen checks TTY_CLOSING before checking
-TTY_LDISC.
-
-3) tty_set_ldisc from tty_ldisc_halt to tty_ldisc_enable. We:
- * take tty_lock, set TTY_LDISC_CHANGING, put tty_lock
- * call tty_ldisc_halt (clear TTY_LDISC), tty_lock is _not_ held
- * do some other work
- * take tty_lock, call tty_ldisc_enable (set TTY_LDISC), put
- tty_lock
-
-So the only option I see is 3). The solution is to check
-TTY_LDISC_CHANGING along with TTY_CLOSING in tty_reopen.
-
-Nicely reproducible with two processes:
-while (1) {
- fd = open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR);
- if (fd < 0) {
- warn("open");
- continue;
- }
- close(fd);
-}
---------
-while (1) {
- fd = open("/dev/ttyS1", O_RDWR);
- ld1 = 0; ld2 = 2;
- while (1) {
- ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ld1);
- ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ld2);
- }
- close(fd);
-}
