From 24ec839c431eb79bb8f6abc00c4e1eb3b8c4d517 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 02:36:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Alan Cox Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Prarit Bhargava Cc: Chris Wright Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: Stephen Smalley Cc: James Morris Cc: "David S.
