[ Upstream commit 63ffcbdad738e3d1c857027789a2273df3337624 ]
The code currently NULLs tty->driver_data in hvcs_close() with the
intent of informing the next call to hvcs_open() that device needs to be
reconfigured. However, when hvcs_cleanup() is called we copy hvcsd from
tty->driver_data which was previoulsy NULLed by hvcs_close() and our
call to tty_port_put(&hvcsd->port) doesn't actually do anything since
&hvcsd->port ends up translating to NULL by chance. This has the side
effect that when hvcs_remove() is called we have one too many port
references preventing hvcs_destuct_port() from ever being called. This
also prevents us from reusing the /dev/hvcsX node in a future
hvcs_probe() and we can eventually run out of /dev/hvcsX devices.
Fix this by waiting to NULL tty->driver_data in hvcs_cleanup().

This reverts commit e2bd1dcbe1aa34ff5570b3427c530e4332ecf0fe.
In discussion on the mailing list, it has been determined that this is
not the correct type of fix for this issue. Revert it so that we can do
this correctly.

Potentially, hvc_open() can be called in parallel when two tasks calls
open() on /dev/hvcX. In such a scenario, if the hp->ops->notifier_add()
callback in the function fails, where it sets the tty->driver_data to
NULL, the parallel hvc_open() can see this NULL and cause a memory abort.
Hence, serialize hvc_open and check if tty->private_data is NULL before
proceeding ahead.
The issue can be easily reproduced by launching two tasks simultaneously
that does nothing but open() and close() on /dev/hvcX.
For example:
$ ./simple_open_close /dev/hvc0 & ./simple_open_close /dev/hvc0 &

commit 24eb2377f977fe06d84fca558f891f95bc28a449 upstream.
hvc_open sets tty->driver_data to NULL when open fails at some point.
Typically, the failure happens in hp->ops->notifier_add(). If there is
a racing process which tries to open such mangled tty, which was not
closed yet, the process will crash in hvc_open as tty->driver_data is
NULL.
All this happens because close wants to know whether open failed or not.
But ->open should not NULL this and other tty fields for ->close to be
happy. ->open should call tty_port_set_initialized(true) and close
should check by tty_port_initialized() instead. So do this properly in
this driver.
So this patch removes these from ->open:
* tty_port_tty_set(&hp->port, NULL). This happens on last close.
* tty->driver_data = NULL. Dtto.
* tty_port_put(&hp->port). This happens in shutdown and until now, this
must have been causing a reference underflow, if I am not missing
something.
