The race was introduced while development of linux-3.11 by
e8437d7ecb and
e9975fdec0.
Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and
linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the
target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay.
In short:
1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer.
2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must
be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room.
3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling
newly committed data.
Detailed example:
* Initial buffer:
* Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL
* Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc''
* consumed 10 Byte
* buffer:
* Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
{{{
count = head->commit - head->read; // count = 0
if (!count) { // enter
// INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER ->
if (head->next == NULL)
break;
buf->head = head->next;
tty_buffer_free(port, head);
continue;
}
}}}
* Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push
* buffer:
* Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
* added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum.
* buffer:
* Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL
* added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called
* buffer:
* Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1
* Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL
* push (tty_flip_buffer_push)
* buffer:
* Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1
* Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL
* Consumer
{{{
count = head->commit - head->read;
if (!count) {
// INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <-
if (head->next == NULL) // -> no break
break;
buf->head = head->next;
tty_buffer_free(port, head);
// ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost
continue;
}
}}}
This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case. Perhaps later
a lock-less solution could be found.

The user-settable knob, low_latency, has been the source of
several BUG reports which stem from flush_to_ldisc() running
in interrupt context. Since 3.12, which added several sleeping
locks (termios_rwsem and buf->lock) to the input processing path,
the frequency of these BUG reports has increased.
Note that changes in 3.12 did not introduce this regression;
sleeping locks were first added to the input processing path
with the removal of the BKL from N_TTY in commit
a88a69c912,
'n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty'
and later in commit 38db89799b,
'tty: throttling race fix'. Since those changes, executing
flush_to_ldisc() in interrupt_context (ie, low_latency set), is unsafe.
However, since most devices do not validate if the low_latency
setting is appropriate for the context (process or interrupt) in
which they receive data, some reports are due to misconfiguration.
Further, serial dma devices for which dma fails, resort to
interrupt receiving as a backup without resetting low_latency.
Historically, low_latency was used to force wake-up the reading
process rather than wait for the next scheduler tick. The
effect was to trim multiple milliseconds of latency from
when the process would receive new data.
Recent tests [1] have shown that the reading process now receives
data with only 10's of microseconds latency without low_latency set.
Remove the low_latency rx steering from tty_flip_buffer_push();
however, leave the knob as an optional hint to drivers that can
tune their rx fifos and such like. Cleanup stale code comments
regarding low_latency.

The tty core supports two models for handling tty_port lifetimes;
the tty_port can use the kref supplied by tty_port (which will
automatically destruct the tty_port when the ref count drops to
zero) or it can destruct the tty_port manually.
For tty drivers that choose to use the port kref to manage the
tty_port lifetime, it is not possible to safely acquire a port
reference conditionally. If the last reference is released after
evaluating the condition but before acquiring the reference, a
bogus reference will be held while the tty_port destruction
commences.
Rather, only acquire a port reference if the ref count is non-zero
and allow the caller to distinguish if a reference has successfully
been acquired.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.
The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.
Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

Use a 0-sized sentinel to avoid assigning the head ptr from

for NULL.
When the sentinel is first 'consumed' by the buffer work

freed nor added to the free list. Both buffer work and
tty_buffer_flush() continue to preserve at least 1 flip buffer
to which head & tail is pointed.

Although line discipline receiving is single-producer/single-consumer,
using tty->receive_room to manage flow control creates unnecessary
critical regions requiring additional lock use.
Instead, introduce the optional .receive_buf2() ldisc method which
returns the # of bytes actually received. Serialization is guaranteed
by the caller.
In turn, the line discipline should schedule the buffer work item
whenever space becomes available; ie., when there is room to receive
data and receive_room() previously returned 0 (the buffer work
item stops processing if receive_buf2() returns 0). Note the
'no room' state need not be atomic despite concurrent use by two
threads because only the buffer work thread can set the state and
only the read() thread can clear the state.
Add n_tty_receive_buf2() as the receive_buf2() method for N_TTY.
Provide a public helper function, tty_ldisc_receive_buf(), to use
when directly accessing the receive_buf() methods.
Line disciplines not using input flow control can continue to set
tty->receive_room to a fixed value and only provide the receive_buf()
method.

after the line discipline has been halted; issue warning.
Note: drivers can still schedule flip buffer work.

It allows for cleaning up on a considerable amount of places. They did
port_get, hangup, kref_put. Now the only thing needed is to call
tty_port_tty_hangup which does exactly that. And they can also decide
whether to consider CLOCAL or completely ignore that.

It allows for cleaning up on a considerable amount of places. They did
port_get, wakeup, kref_put. Now the only thing needed is to call
tty_port_tty_wakeup which does exactly that.
One exception is ifx6x60 where tty_wakeup was open-coded. We now call
tty_wakeup properly there.

The warning is there since 2.1.69 and we have not seen anybody
reporting it in the past decade. Remove the warning now.
tty_get_baud_rate can now be inline. This gives us one less

The tty driver can become stuck throttled due to race conditions
between throttle and unthrottle, when the decision to throttle
or unthrottle is conditional. The following example helps to
illustrate the race:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
if (condition A) |
| <processing such that A not true>
| if (!condition A)
| unthrottle()
throttle() |
|
Note the converse is also possible; ie.,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
| if (!condition A)
<processing such that A true> |
if (condition A) |
throttle() |
| unthrottle()
|
Add new throttle/unthrottle functions based on the familiar model
of task state and schedule/wake. For example,
while (1) {
tty_set_flow_change(tty, TTY_THROTTLE_SAFE);
if (!condition)
break;
if (!tty_throttle_safe(tty))
break;
}
__tty_set_flow_change(tty, 0);
In this example, if an unthrottle occurs after the condition is
evaluated but before tty_throttle_safe(), then tty_throttle_safe()
will return non-zero, looping and forcing the re-evaluation of
condition.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.
Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.
IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.
Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.

One point is to have less places where we actually need tty pointer.
The other is that low_latency is bound to buffer processing and
buffers are now in tty_port. So it makes sense to move low_latency to
tty_port too.

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue.
Those using refcounting are safe now, but for those which do not we
introduce a function to be called right before the tty_port is freed
by the drivers.

So this is it. The big step why we did all the work over the past

from doing that big step.

The buffers are now in the tty_port structure and we can start
teaching the buffer helpers (insert char/string, flip etc.) to use
tty_port instead of tty_struct all around.

For that purpose we have to temporarily introduce a second tty back
pointer into tty_port. It is because serial layer, and maybe others,
still do not use tty_port_tty_set/get. So that we cannot set the
tty_port->tty to NULL at will now.
Yes, the fix would be to convert whole serial layer and all its users
to tty_port_tty_set/get. However we are in the process of removing the
need of tty in most of the call sites, so this would lead to a
duplicated work.
Instead we have now tty_port->itty (internal tty) which will be used
only in flush_to_ldisc. For that one it is ensured that itty is valid
wherever the work is run. IOW, the work is synchronously cancelled
before we set itty to NULL and also before hangup is processed.
After we need only tty_port and not tty_struct in most code, this
shall be changed to tty_port_tty_set/get and itty removed completely.
