Chanho Park 2a48602615 tty: do not set TTY_IO_ERROR flag if console port
Since Commit 761ed4a945 ('tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close') and Commit 4dda864d73 ('tty: serial_core: Fix serial
console crash on port shutdown), a serial port which is used as
console can be stuck when logging out if there is a remained process.
After logged out, agetty will try to grab the serial port but it will
be failed because the previous process did not release the port
correctly. To fix this, TTY_IO_ERROR bit should not be enabled of
tty_port_close if the port is console port.

Reproduce step:
- Run background processes from serial console
$ while true; do sleep 10; done &

- Log out
$ logout
-> Stuck

- Read journal log by journalctl | tail

Greg Kroah-Hartman e3b3d0f549 tty: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/tty/
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Johan Hovold 8cde11b2ba tty/serdev: add serdev registration interface
Add a new interface for registering a serdev controller and clients, and
a helper function to deregister serdev devices (or a tty device) that
were previously registered using the new interface.

Once every driver currently using the tty_port_register_device() helpers
have been vetted and converted to use the new serdev registration
interface (at least for deregistration), we can move serdev registration
to the current helpers and get rid of the serdev-specific functions.

Vegard Nossum 925bb1ce47 tty: fix port buffer locking
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() is racy against itself when called
from the ioctl(TCXONC, TCION/TCIOFF) path [1] and the flush_to_ldisc()
workqueue path [2].

The problem is that port->buf.tail->used is modified without consistent
locking; the ioctl path takes tty->atomic_write_lock, whereas the workqueue
path takes ldata->output_lock.

We cannot simply take ldata->output_lock, since that is specific to the
N_TTY line discipline.

It might seem natural to try to take port->buf.lock inside
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag() and friends (where port->buf is
actually used/modified), but this creates problems for flush_to_ldisc()
which takes it before grabbing tty->ldisc_sem, o_tty->termios_rwsem,
and ldata->output_lock.

Therefore, the simplest solution for now seems to be to take
tty->atomic_write_lock inside tty_port_default_receive_buf(). This lock
is also used in the write path [3] with a consistent ordering.

[1]: Call Trace:

The bug can result in about a dozen different crashes depending on what
exactly gets corrupted when port->buf.tail->used points outside the
buffer.

The patch passes my LOCKDEP/PROVE_LOCKING testing but more testing is
always welcome.

Johan Hovold d3ba126a22 Revert "tty_port: register tty ports with serdev bus"
This reverts commit 8ee3fde047.

The new serdev bus hooked into the tty layer in
tty_port_register_device() by registering a serdev controller instead of
a tty device whenever a serdev client is present, and by deregistering
the controller in the tty-port destructor. This is broken in several
ways:

Firstly, it leads to a NULL-pointer dereference whenever a tty driver
later deregisters its devices as no corresponding character device will
exist.

Secondly, far from every tty driver uses tty-port refcounting (e.g.
serial core) so the serdev devices might never be deregistered or
deallocated.

Thirdly, deregistering at tty-port destruction is too late as the
underlying device and structures may be long gone by then. A port is not
released before an open tty device is closed, something which a
registered serdev client can prevent from ever happening. A driver
callback while the device is gone typically also leads to crashes.

Many tty drivers even keep their ports around until the driver is
unloaded (e.g. serial core), something which even if a late callback
never happens, leads to leaks if a device is unbound from its driver and
is later rebound.

The right solution here is to add a new tty_port_unregister_device()
helper and to never call tty_device_unregister() whenever the port has
been claimed by serdev, but since this requires modifying just about
every tty driver (and multiple subsystems) it will need to be done
incrementally.

Reverting the offending patch is the first step in fixing the broken
lifetime assumptions. A follow-up patch will add a new pair of
tty-device registration helpers, which a vetted tty driver can use to
support serdev (initially serial core). When every tty driver uses the
serdev helpers (at least for deregistration), we can add serdev
registration to tty_port_register_device() again.

Note that this also fixes another issue with serdev, which currently
allocates and registers a serdev controller for every tty device
registered using tty_port_device_register() only to immediately
deregister and deallocate it when the corresponding OF node or serdev
child node is missing. This should be addressed before enabling serdev
for hot-pluggable buses.

Alan Cox ed3f0af8c0 tty_port: allow a port to be opened with a tty that has no file handle
Let us create tty objects entirely in kernel space. Untested proposal to
show why all the ideas around rewriting half the uart stack are not needed.

With this a kernel created non file backed tty object could be used to handle
data, and set terminal modes. Not all ldiscs can cope with this as N_TTY in
particular has to work back to the fs/tty layer.

The tty_port code is however otherwise clean of file handles as far as I can
tell as is the low level tty port write path used by the ldisc, the
configuration low level interfaces and most of the ldiscs.

Currently you don't have any exposure to see tty hangups because those are
built around the file layer. However a) it's a fixed port so you probably
don't care about that b) if you do we can add a callback and c) you almost
certainly don't want the userspace tear down/rebuild behaviour anyway.

This should however be sufficient if we wanted for example to enumerate all
the bluetooth bound fixed ports via ACPI and make them directly available.
It doesn't deal with the case of a user opening a port that's also kernel
opened and that would need some locking out (so it returned EBUSY if bound
to a kernel device of some kind). That needs resolving along with how you
"up" or "down" your new bluetooth device, or enumerate it while providing
the existing tty API to avoid regressions (and to debug).

Peter Hurley fef062cbf2 tty: Remove ASYNC_CLOSING checks in open()/hangup() methods
Since at least before 2.6.30, tty drivers that do not drop the tty lock
while closing cannot observe ASYNC_CLOSING set while holding the
tty lock; this includes the tty driver's open() and hangup() methods,
since the tty core calls these methods holding the tty lock.

For these drivers, waiting for ASYNC_CLOSING to clear while opening
is not required, since this condition cannot occur. Similarly, even
when the open() method drops and reacquires the tty lock after
blocking, ASYNC_CLOSING cannot be set (again, for drivers that
do not drop the tty lock while closing).

Now that tty port drivers no longer drop the tty lock while closing
(since 'tty: Remove tty_wait_until_sent_from_close()'), the same
conditions apply: waiting for ASYNC_CLOSING to clear while opening
is not required, nor is re-checking ASYNC_CLOSING after dropping and
reacquiring the tty lock while blocking (eg., in *_block_til_ready()).

Note: The ASYNC_CLOSING flag state is still maintained since several
bitrotting drivers use it for (dubious) other purposes.

Peter Hurley 79c1faa451 tty: Remove tty_wait_until_sent_from_close()
tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting
for the tty driver to finish sending previously accepted data (ie.,
data remaining in its write buffer and transmit fifo).

tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() was added by commit a57a7bf3fc
("TTY: define tty_wait_until_sent_from_close") to prevent the entire
tty subsystem from being unable to open new ttys while waiting for
one tty to close while output drained.

However, since commit 0911261d4c ("tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty
count changes"), holding a tty lock while closing does not prevent other
ttys from being opened/closed/hung up, but only prevents lifetime event
changes for the tty under lock.

Holding the tty lock while waiting for output to drain does prevent
parallel non-blocking opens (O_NONBLOCK) from advancing or returning
while the tty lock is held. However, all parallel opens _already_
block even if the tty lock is dropped while closing and the parallel
open advances. Blocking in open has been in mainline since at least 2.6.29
(see tty_port_block_til_ready(); note the test for O_NONBLOCK is _after_
the wait while ASYNC_CLOSING).

IOW, before this patch a non-blocking open will sleep anyway for the
_entire_ duration of a parallel hardware shutdown, and when it wakes, the
error return will cause a release of its tty, and it will restart with
a fresh attempt to open. Similarly with a blocking open that is already
waiting; when it's woken, the hardware shutdown has already completed
to ASYNC_INITIALIZED is not set, which forces a release and restart as
well.

So, holding the tty lock across the _entire_ close (which is what this
patch does), even while waiting for output to drain, is equivalent to
the current outcome wrt parallel opens.

Markus Elfring a211b1af19 tty: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls
The functions put_device() and tty_kref_put() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately.
Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
