[ Upstream commit 33a1a7be198657c8ca26ad406c4d2a89b7162bcc ]

The issue is found by a fuzzing test.
If tty_find_polling_driver() recevies an incorrect input such as
',,' or '0b', the len becomes 0 and strncmp() always return 0.
In this case, a null p-&gt;ops-&gt;poll_init() is called and it causes a kernel
panic.

Fix this by checking name length against zero in tty_find_polling_driver().

commit 903f9db10f18f735e62ba447147b6c434b6af003 upstream.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

<title>tty: make n_tty_read() always abort if hangup is in progress</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12ed237ccc0518a867bb6ba8d624865dfb44620c</id>

commit 28b0f8a6962a24ed21737578f3b1b07424635c9e upstream.

A tty is hung up by __tty_hangup() setting file-&gt;f_op to
hung_up_tty_fops, which is skipped on ttys whose write operation isn't
tty_write().  This means that, for example, /dev/console whose write
op is redirected_tty_write() is never actually marked hung up.

Because n_tty_read() uses the hung up status to decide whether to
abort the waiting readers, the lack of hung-up marking can lead to the
following scenario.

 1. A session contains two processes.  The leader and its child.  The
    child ignores SIGHUP.

 2. The leader exits and starts disassociating from the controlling
    terminal (/dev/console).

 3. __tty_hangup() skips setting f_op to hung_up_tty_fops.

 4. SIGHUP is delivered and ignored.

 5. tty_ldisc_hangup() is invoked.  It wakes up the waits which should
    clear the read lockers of tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 6. The reader wakes up but because tty_hung_up_p() is false, it
    doesn't abort and goes back to sleep while read-holding
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

 7. The leader progresses to tty_ldisc_lock() in tty_ldisc_hangup()
    and is now stuck in D sleep indefinitely waiting for
    tty-&gt;ldisc_sem.

The following is Alan's explanation on why some ttys aren't hung up.

 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171101170908.6ad08580@alans-desktop

 1. It broke the serial consoles because they would hang up and close
    down the hardware. With tty_port that *should* be fixable properly
    for any cases remaining.

 2. The console layer was (and still is) completely broken and doens't
    refcount properly. So if you turn on console hangups it breaks (as
    indeed does freeing consoles and half a dozen other things).

As neither can be fixed quickly, this patch works around the problem
by introducing a new flag, TTY_HUPPING, which is used solely to tell
n_tty_read() that hang-up is in progress for the console and the
readers should be aborted regardless of the hung-up status of the
device.

The following is a sample hung task warning caused by this issue.

  INFO: task agetty:2662 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

[ Upstream commit 2b022ab7542df60021ab57854b3faaaf42552eaf ]

In case that CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is on and pty is used, races between
release_one_tty and flush_to_ldisc work threads may happen and lead
to use-after-free condition on tty-&gt;link-&gt;port. Because SLUB_DEBUG
is turned on, freed tty-&gt;link-&gt;port is filled with POISON_FREE value.
So far without SLUB_DEBUG, port was filled with zero and flush_to_ldisc
could return without a problem by checking if tty is NULL.

<title>tty: Drop krefs for interrupted tty lock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc04a1433843ff8518f3bf6733e99abb05458b82</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e9036d0662360cd4c79578565ce422ed5872f301 upstream.

When the tty lock is interrupted on attempted re-open, 2 tty krefs
are still held. Drop extra kref before returning failure from
tty_lock_interruptible(), and drop lookup kref before returning
failure from tty_open().

Fixes: 0bfd464d3fdd ("tty: Wait interruptibly for tty lock on reopen")

<id>urn:sha1:d343601a19410f71bf1765df5e2edda66fe5de5f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5c17c861a357e9458001f021a7afa7aab9937439 upstream.

ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the
ldisc because the line discipline id (c_line) in termios is untrustworthy;
userspace may have set termios via ioctl(TCSETS*) without actually
changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD).

However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty-&gt;ldisc is
unsafe; the ldisc ptr dereferenced may be stale if the line discipline
is changing via ioctl(TIOCSETD) or hangup.

Wait for the line discipline reference (just like read() or write())
to retrieve the "current" line discipline id.

<title>tty: Retry failed reopen if tty teardown in-progress</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b4312250147d42dceed6c8d44aa02cb29539db19</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7f22f6c935cda600660e623a411fe380015d28d9 upstream.

A small window exists where a tty reopen will observe the tty
just prior to imminent teardown (tty-&gt;count == 0); in this case, open()
returns EIO to userspace.

Instead, retry the open after checking for signals and yielding;
this interruptible retry loop allows teardown to commence and initialize
a new tty on retry. Never retry the BSD master pty reopen; there is no
guarantee the pty pair teardown is imminent since the slave file
descriptors may remain open indefinitely.

commit 0bfd464d3fdd5bb322f9cace4cc47f1796545cf7 upstream.

Allow a signal to interrupt the wait for a tty reopen; eg., if
the tty has starting final close and is waiting for the device to
drain.

The correct lock order is atomic_write_lock =&gt; termios_rwsem, as
established by tty_write() =&gt; n_tty_write().

than manipulate buffer work directly.
