By directly using kfree() in different places we risk missing one if
it is switched to using vfree(), especially if the corresponding
vmalloc() is hidden away within a common abstraction.

Oh wait, that's exactly what happened here.

So let's fix this by creating a common abstraction for the free case
as well.

The code in vc_do_resize() bounds the memory allocation size to avoid
exceeding MAX_ORDER down the kzalloc() call chain and generating a
runtime warning triggerable from user space. However, not only is it
unwise to use a literal value here, but MAX_ORDER may also be
configurable based on CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER.
Let's use KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead.

Note that prior commit bb1107f7c605 ("mm, slab: make sure that
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE will fit into MAX_ORDER") the KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE value
could not be relied upon.

Even if the actual screen size is bounded in vc_do_resize(), the unicode
buffer is still a little more than twice the size of the glyph buffer
and may exceed MAX_ORDER down the kmalloc() path. This can be triggered
from user space.

Since there is no point having a physically contiguous buffer here,
let's avoid the above issue as well as reducing pressure on high order
allocations by using vmalloc() instead.

<title>vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console</title>
<updated>2020-03-27T11:35:04+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=ca4463bf8438b403596edd0ec961ca0d4fbe0220'/>
<id>ca4463bf8438b403596edd0ec961ca0d4fbe0220</id>
<content type='text'>
The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release()
is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown().  This
occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's
'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's
refcount hits 0.  But actually it may be still being closed.

Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded
'struct tty_port'.  A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1.
Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2.  Closing it
for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup()
so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE.

Reproducer:
	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;linux/vt.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/ioctl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

	int main()
	{
		if (fork()) {
			for (;;)
				close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR));
		} else {
			int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR);

			for (;;)
				ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5);
		}
	}

Instead of awkward ternary operator with comparison, use simple min()
for blankinterval and vesa_off_interval.

No functional change intended and "objdump -d" proves that.

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down

lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.
