2012-03-08TTY: remove re-assignments to tty_driver membersJiri Slaby1-4/+0
All num, magic and owner are set by alloc_tty_driver. No need to re-set them on each allocation site. pti driver sets something different to what it passes to alloc_tty_driver. It is not a bug, since we don't use the lines parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right thing.

2012-02-02TTY: get rid of BTM around devpts_*Jiri Slaby1-4/+2
devpts operations are protected by inode mutexes and dentry refcounting. There is no need to hold BTM. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-02-02TTY: pty, remove superfluous ptm testJiri Slaby1-4/+1
The code looks like: if (tty->driver->subtype == PTY_TYPE_MASTER) { ... if (tty->driver == ptm_driver) But the second if is superfluous because only the ptm_driver is of PTY_TYPE_MASTER subtype. Also we can remove the #if now because devpts_pty_kill is defined as an empty function for non-CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS configs.

2012-01-24tty: cleanup prohibition of direct opening for unix98 pty masterKonstantin Khlebnikov1-5/+3
cleanup hack added in v2.6.27-3203-g15582d3 comment from that patch: : pty: If the administrator creates a device for a ptmx slave we should not error : : The open path for ptmx slaves is via the ptmx device. Opening them any : other way is not allowed. Vegard Nossum found that previously this was not : the case and mknod foo c 128 42; cat foo would produce nasty diagnostics : : Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> : Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> devpts_get_tty() returns non-null only for inodes on devpts, but there is no inodes for master-devices, /dev/ptmx (/dev/pts/ptmx) is the only way to open them. Thus we can completely forbid lookup for master-devices and eliminate that hack in tty_init_dev() because tty_open() will get EIO from tty_driver_lookup_tty().

2011-10-18TTY: pty, release tty in all ptmx_open fail pathsJiri Slaby1-5/+5
Mistakenly, commit 64ba3dc3143d (tty: never hold BTM while getting tty_mutex) switched one fail path in ptmx_open to not free the newly allocated tty. Fix that by jumping to the appropriate place. And rename the labels so that it's clear what is going on there.

2011-10-18TTY: make tty_add_file non-failingJiri Slaby1-5/+11
If tty_add_file fails at the point it is now, we have to revert all the changes we did to the tty. It means either decrease all refcounts if this was a tty reopen or delete the tty if it was newly allocated. There was a try to fix this in v3.0-rc2 using tty_release in 0259894c7 (TTY: fix fail path in tty_open). But instead it introduced a NULL dereference. It's because tty_release dereferences filp->private_data, but that one is set even in our tty_add_file. And when tty_add_file fails, it's still NULL/garbage. Hence tty_release cannot be called there. To circumvent the original leak (and the current NULL deref) we split tty_add_file into two functions, making the latter non-failing. In that case we may do the former early in open, where handling failures is easy. The latter stays as it is now. So there is no change in functionality. The original bug (leak) was introduced by f573bd176 (tty: Remove __GFP_NOFAIL from tty_add_file()). Thanks Dan for reporting this. Later, we may split tty_release into more functions and call only some of them in this fail path instead. (If at all possible.)

2011-08-23TTY: pty, fix pty countingJiri Slaby1-2/+15
tty_operations->remove is normally called like: queue_release_one_tty ->tty_shutdown ->tty_driver_remove_tty ->tty_operations->remove However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not. pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown. So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in /proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr. I see this was already reported at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370 But it was not fixed since then. This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for user. And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown). While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined, tty_shutdown() is not called. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "H.
