commit dd42bf1197144ede075a9d4793123f7689e164bc upstream.

Line discipline drivers may mistakenly misuse ldisc-related fields
when initializing. For example, a failure to initialize tty-&gt;receive_room
in the N_GIGASET_M101 line discipline was recently found and fixed [1].
Now, the N_X25 line discipline has been discovered accessing the previous
line discipline's already-freed private data [2].

Harden the ldisc interface against misuse by initializing revelant
tty fields before instancing the new line discipline.

<title>tty: Document unsafe ldisc reference acquire</title>

Merge get_ldisc() into its only call site.
Note how, after merging, the unsafe acquire of an ldisc reference
is obvious.

   CPU 0 in tty_ldisc_try()         |  CPU 1 in tty_ldisc_halt()
                                    |
test_bit(TTY_LDISC, &amp;tty_flags)     |
if (true)                           |  clear_bit(TTY_LDISC, &amp;tty_flags)
  tty-&gt;ldisc != 0?                  |  atomic_read(&amp;tty-&gt;ldisc-&gt;users)
  if (true)                         |  ret_val == 1?
    atomic_inc(&amp;tty-&gt;ldisc-&gt;users)  |  if (false)
                                    |    wait
                                    |
&lt;goes on assuming safe ldisc use&gt;   |  &lt;doesn't wait - proceeds w/ close&gt;
                                    |

The spin lock in tty_ldisc_try() does nothing wrt synchronizing
the ldisc halt since it's not acquired as part of halting.

<title>tty: Separate release semantics of ldisc reference</title>

tty_ldisc_ref()/tty_ldisc_unref() have usage semantics
equivalent to down_read_trylock()/up_read(). Only
callers of tty_ldisc_put() are performing the additional
operations necessary for proper ldisc teardown, and then only
after ensuring no outstanding 'read lock' remains.

Thus, tty_ldisc_unref() should never be the last reference;
WARN if it is. Conversely, tty_ldisc_put() should never be
destructing if the use count != 1.

of the tty. Instead, the final tty release must wait for any pending tty
work to complete prior to tty destruction.

Waiting for buffer work to complete is not required for safely
performing changes to the line discipline, once the line discipline
is halted. The buffer work routine, flush_to_ldisc(), will be
unable to acquire an ldisc ref and all existing references were
waited until released (so it can't already have one).

Ensure running buffer work which may reference the soon-to-be-gone
tty completes and any buffer work running after this point retrieves
a NULL tty.

Also, ensure all buffer work is cancelled on port destruction.
