    drivers: net: slip: fix NPD bug in sl_tx_timeout() · ec4eb8a8
    Duoming Zhou authored
    When a slip driver is detaching, the slip_close() will act to
    cleanup necessary resources and sl->tty is set to NULL in
    slip_close(). Meanwhile, the packet we transmit is blocked,
    sl_tx_timeout() will be called. Although slip_close() and
    sl_tx_timeout() use sl->lock to synchronize, we don`t judge
    whether sl->tty equals to NULL in sl_tx_timeout() and the
    null pointer dereference bug will happen.
    
       (Thread 1)                 |      (Thread 2)
                                  | slip_close()
                                  |   spin_lock_bh(&sl->lock)
                                  |   ...
    ...                           |   sl->tty = NULL //(1)
    sl_tx_timeout()               |   spin_unlock_bh(&sl->lock)
      spin_lock(&sl->lock);       |
      ...                         |   ...
      tty_chars_in_buffer(sl->tty)|
        if (tty->ops->..) //(2)   |
        ...                       |   synchronize_rcu()
    
    We set NULL to sl->tty in position (1) and dereference sl->tty
    in position (2).
    
    This patch adds check in sl_tx_timeout(). If sl->tty equals to
    NULL, sl_tx_timeout() will goto out.
