tty: Prepare for destroying line discipline on hangup
tty file_operations (read/write/ioctl) wait for the ldisc reference indefinitely (until ldisc lifetime events, such as hangup or TIOCSETD, finish). Since hangup now destroys the ldisc and does not instance another copy, file_operations must now be prepared to receive a NULL ldisc reference from tty_ldisc_ref_wait(): CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- (*f_op->read)() => tty_read() __tty_hangup() ... f_op = &hung_up_tty_fops; ... tty_ldisc_hangup() tty_ldisc_lock() tty_ldisc_kill() tty->ldisc = NULL tty_ldisc_unlock() ld = tty_ldisc_ref_wait() /* ld == NULL */ Instead, the action taken now is to return the same value as if the tty had been hungup a moment earlier: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- __tty_hangup() ... f_op = &hung_up_tty_fops; (*f_op->read)() => hung_up_tty_read() return 0; ... tty_ldisc_hangup() tty_ldisc_lock() tty_ldisc_kill() tty->ldisc = NULL tty_ldisc_unlock() Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
