commit bcdd0ca8cb8730573afebcaae4138f8f4c8eaa20 upstream.

syzbot is reporting crashes triggered by memory allocation fault injection
at tty_ldisc_get() [1]. As an attempt to handle OOM in a graceful way, we
have tried commit 5362544bebe85071 ("tty: don't panic on OOM in
tty_set_ldisc()"). But we reverted that attempt by commit a8983d01f9b7d600
("Revert "tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()"") due to reproducible
crash. We should spend resource for finding and fixing race condition bugs
rather than complicate error paths for 2 * sizeof(void *) bytes allocation
failure.

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.

commit dd42bf1197144ede075a9d4793123f7689e164bc upstream.

Line discipline drivers may mistakenly misuse ldisc-related fields
when initializing. For example, a failure to initialize tty-&gt;receive_room
in the N_GIGASET_M101 line discipline was recently found and fixed [1].
Now, the N_X25 line discipline has been discovered accessing the previous
line discipline's already-freed private data [2].

Harden the ldisc interface against misuse by initializing revelant
tty fields before instancing the new line discipline.

Add debug messages for ldisc open and close, and remove
"closing ldisc" message from tty_ldisc_release(), because a
close message is now printed for both ldiscs; always print ldisc
pointer first so ldisc changes are easier to identify.

<title>tty: remove buf parameter from tty_name()</title>

tty_name no longer uses the buf parameter, so remove it along with all
the 64 byte stack buffers that used to be passed in.

Mostly generated by the coccinelle script

@depends on patch@
identifier buf;
constant C;
expression tty;
@@
- char buf[C];
  &lt;+...
- tty_name(tty, buf)
+ tty_name(tty)
  ...+&gt;

allmodconfig compiles, so I'm fairly confident the stack buffers
weren't used for other purposes as well.

Allow a tty driver to safely access termios settings while handling
the set_ldisc() notification. UART drivers use the set_ldisc()
notification to check if the N_PPS line discipline is being enabled;
if so, modem status interrupts may also need to be enabled. Conversely,
modem status interrupts may need to be disabled if switching away
from the N_PPS line discipline.

<title>tty: Flush ldisc buffer atomically with tty flip buffers</title>

<content type='text'>
tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer,
then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing
data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input
buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared.

Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow
tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear.

NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in
tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing
line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on
ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line
disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods,
so a -&gt;flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.
