Subject: [PATCH] n_tty: Protect tty->disc_data using refcount.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at n_tty_set_termios() [1].
This is because ioctl(TIOCVHANGUP) versus ioctl(TCSETS) can race.

Since we don't want to introduce new locking dependency, this patch
converts "struct n_tty_data *ldata = tty->disc_data;" in individual
function into a function argument which follows "struct tty *", and
holds tty->disc_data at each "struct tty_ldisc_ops" hook using refcount
in order to ensure that memory which contains "struct n_tty_data" will
not be released while processing individual function.

What is the best return value for these "struct tty_ldisc_ops" hooks
when we hit this race is not clear. We might need to tweak some of them.

Subject: [PATCH v2] n_tty: Protect tty->disc_data using refcount.

syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at n_tty_set_termios() [1].
This is because ioctl(TIOCVHANGUP) versus ioctl(TCSETS) can race.

Since we don't want to introduce new locking dependency, this patch
converts "struct n_tty_data *ldata = tty->disc_data;" in individual
function into a function argument which follows "struct tty *", and
holds tty->disc_data at each "struct tty_ldisc_ops" hook using refcount
in order to ensure that memory which contains "struct n_tty_data" will
not be released while processing individual function.

What changed from v1?  I haven't had the chance to review your first
patch, sorry, it's still in my queue.  I was hoping that someone else
would help out with that as well :)

Just added a check in case I overlooked a subtle race condition that
n_tty_close() is _somehow_ called twice.

If n_tty_close() is _somehow_ called twice, v1 patch will trigger NULL
pointer dereference. If you are sure that n_tty_close() is never called
twice, you can ignore v2.

This does not look correct and is way too complicated. ioctls should not
be called while changing/killing/hanging/whatever a ldisc. But there is
one missing lock in tty_reopen.

So does the attached patch helps instead?

Which is btw in fact semantically the same as Dmitry's patch:

That patch seems to help avoiding crashes. (You can use #syz test: command.)
But I think you need to check tty_ldisc_lock() return value...
