-Subject: n_tty: Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode
-
-The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for
-the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST.  And since
-it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like
-tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when
-concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two
-writers:
-* the ECHOing from a workqueue and
-* pty_write from the process
-race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows.
-
-If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is:
-  int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags);
-  struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail;
-  ...
-  memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space);
-  ...
-  tb->used += space;
-
-so the race of the two can result in something like this:
-              A                                B
-__tty_buffer_request_room
-                                  __tty_buffer_request_room
-memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...)
-tb->used += space;
-                                  memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM
-
-B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used
-increment.
-
-Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output
-concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to
-serialize echo output with normal tty writes.  This ensures the tty
-buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and
-everything is fine.
-
-Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using
-forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is
-present in kernels at least after commit
-d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc (pty: Rework the pty layer to
-use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3.
-
-js: add more info to the commit log
-js: switch to bool
-js: lock unconditionally
-js: lock only the tty->ops->write call
