serial: core: Fix crashes while echoing when closing
commit e144c58cad6667876173dd76977e9e6557e34941 upstream.
While closing, new rx data may be received after the input buffers
have been flushed but before stop_rx() halts receiving [1]. The
new data might not be processed by flush_to_ldisc() until after
uart_shutdown() and normal input processing is re-enabled (ie.,
tty->closing = 0). The race is outlined below:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
uart_close() |
tty_port_close_start() |
tty->closing = 1 |
tty_ldisc_flush() |
| => IRQ
| while (LSR & data ready)
| uart_insert_char()
| tty_flip_buffer_push()
| <= EOI
stop_rx() | .
uart_shutdown() | .
free xmit.buf | .
tty_port_tty_set(NULL) | .
tty->closing = 0 | .
| flush_to_ldisc()
| n_tty_receive_buf_common()
| __receive_buf()
| ...
| commit_echoes()
| uart_flush_chars()
| __uart_start()
| ** OOPS on port.tty deref **
tty_ldisc_flush() |
Input processing must be prevented from echoing (tty->closing = 1)
until _after_ the input buffers have been flushed again at the end
of uart_close().
[1] In fact, some input may actually be buffered _after_ stop_rx()
since the rx interrupt may have already triggered but not yet been
handled when stop_rx() disables rx interrupts.
Fixes: 2e758910832d ("serial: core: Flush ldisc after dropping port
mutex in uart_close()")
