2.6.27.58-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: Amit Shah <amit.s...@redhat.com>
commit e74d098c66543d0731de62eb747ccd5b636a6f4c upstream.
Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The
recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove().
Alan describes it thus:
The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the
same time.
In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup is asynchronous
itself....
So this can happen
hvc_close hvc_remove
hung up ? - no
lock
tty = hp->tty
unlock
lock
hp->tty = NULL
unlock
notify del
kref_put the hvc struct
close completes
tty is destroyed
tty_hangup dead tty
tty->ops will be NULL
NULL->...
This patch adds some tty krefs and also converts to using tty_vhangup().
