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
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff8103b189>] warn_slowpath_common+0x80/0x98
 [<ffffffff8103b1b6>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x17
 [<ffffffff8128a3ab>] tty_open+0x2a2/0x49a
 [<ffffffff810fd53f>] chrdev_open+0x11d/0x146
...

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);
}
