This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

tty: hvc_console, fix crashes on parallel open/close

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Jiri Slaby jslaby@suse.cz Date: Tue, 26 May 2020 16:56:32 +0200 Subject: tty: hvc_console, fix crashes on parallel open/close

hvc_open sets tty->driver_data to NULL when open fails at some point. Typically, the failure happens in hp->ops->notifier_add(). If there is a racing process which tries to open such mangled tty, which was not closed yet, the process will crash in hvc_open as tty->driver_data is NULL.

All this happens because close wants to know whether open failed or not. But ->open should not NULL this and other tty fields for ->close to be happy. ->open should call tty_port_set_initialized(true) and close should check by tty_port_initialized() instead. So do this properly in this driver.

So this patch removes these from ->open: * tty_port_tty_set(&hp->port, NULL). This happens on last close. * tty->driver_data = NULL. Dtto. * tty_port_put(&hp->port). This happens in shutdown and until now, this must have been causing a reference underflow, if I am not missing something.
