serial: fix race between flush_to_ldisc and tty_open

2019-02-12T18:47:26+00:00

commit fedb5760648a291e949f2380d383b5b2d2749b5e upstream. There still is a race window after the commit b027e2298bd588 ("tty: fix data race between tty_init_dev and flush of buf"), and we encountered this crash issue if receive_buf call comes before tty initialization completes in tty_open and tty->driver_data may be NULL. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- tty_open tty_init_dev tty_ldisc_unlock schedule flush_to_ldisc receive_buf tty_port_default_receive_buf tty_ldisc_receive_buf n_tty_receive_buf_common __receive_buf uart_flush_chars uart_start /*tty->driver_data is NULL*/ tty->ops->open /*init tty->driver_data*/ it can be fixed by extending ldisc semaphore lock in tty_init_dev to driver_data initialized completely after tty->ops->open(), but this will lead to get lock on one function and unlock in some other function, and hard to maintain, so fix this race only by checking tty->driver_data when receiving, and return if tty->driver_data is NULL, and n_tty_receive_buf_common maybe calls uart_unthrottle, so add the same check. Because the tty layer knows nothing about the driver associated with the device, the tty layer can not do anything here, it is up to the tty driver itself to check for this type of race. Fix up the serial driver to correctly check to see if it is finished binding with the device when being called, and if not, abort the tty calls.

uart: Fix crash in uart_write and uart_put_char

2019-01-31T07:14:36+00:00

commit aff9cf5955185d1f183227e46c5f8673fa483813 upstream. We were experiencing a crash similar to the one reported as part of commit:a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()") in our testbed as well. We continue to observe the same crash after integrating the commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race between uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()") On reviewing the change, the port lock should be taken prior to checking for if (!circ->buf) in fn. __uart_put_char and other fns. that update the buffer uart_state->xmit.

tty/serial: do not free trasnmit buffer page under port lock

2019-01-26T08:32:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit d72402145ace0697a6a9e8e75a3de5bf3375f78d ] LKP has hit yet another circular locking dependency between uart console drivers and debugobjects [1]: CPU0 CPU1 rhltable_init() __init_work() debug_object_init uart_shutdown() /* db->lock */ /* uart_port->lock */ debug_print_object() free_page() printk() call_console_drivers() debug_check_no_obj_freed() /* uart_port->lock */ /* db->lock */ debug_print_object() So there are two dependency chains: uart_port->lock -> db->lock And db->lock -> uart_port->lock This particular circular locking dependency can be addressed in several ways: a) One way would be to move debug_print_object() out of db->lock scope and, thus, break the db->lock -> uart_port->lock chain. b) Another one would be to free() transmit buffer page out of db->lock in UART code; which is what this patch does. It makes sense to apply a) and b) independently: there are too many things going on behind free(), none of which depend on uart_port->lock. The patch fixes transmit buffer page free() in uart_shutdown() and, additionally, in uart_port_startup() (as was suggested by Dmitry Safonov).

Indeed, the lock acquired in uart_put_char() is uport->lock, i.e. not the same lock. Anyway, since the lock is not acquired, if uart_shutdown() is called, the last chunk of that function may release state->xmit.buf before its assigned to null, and cause the race above. To fix it, let's lock uport->lock when allocating/deallocating state->xmit.buf in addition to the per-port mutex. v2: switch to locking uport->lock on allocation/deallocation instead of locking the per-port mutex in uart_put_char. Note that since uport->lock is a spin lock, we have to switch the allocation to GFP_ATOMIC. v3: move the allocation outside the lock, so we can switch back to GFP_KERNEL Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()

2018-06-12T23:19:22+00:00

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kzalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kzalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

tty: replace ->proc_fops with ->proc_show

2018-05-16T05:24:30+00:00

Just set up the show callback in the tty_operations, and use proc_create_single_data to create the file without additional boilerplace code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

serial: Introduce UPSTAT_SYNC_FIFO for synchronised FIFOs

2018-04-23T08:16:50+00:00

This change adds a flag to indicate that a UART is has an external means of synchronising its FIFO, without needing CTSRTS or XON/XOFF. This allows us to use the throttle/unthrottle callbacks, without having to claim other methods of flow control.

serial: expose buf_overrun count through proc interface

2018-03-23T15:34:06+00:00

The buf_overrun count is only every written, and not exposed to userspace anywhere. This means that dropped characters due to flip buffer overruns are never visible to userspace. The /proc/tty/driver/serial file exports a bunch of metrics (including hardware overruns) already, so add the buf_overrun (as "bo:") to this file.

serial: core: mark port as initialized in autoconfig

2018-02-28T12:48:21+00:00

This is a followup on 44117a1d1732 ("serial: core: mark port as initialized after successful IRQ change"). Nikola has been using autoconfig via setserial and reported a crash similar to what I fixed in the earlier mentioned commit. Here I do the same fixup for the autoconfig. I wasn't sure that this is the right approach. Nikola confirmed that it fixes his crash.
