    tty: Avoid possible error pointer dereference at tty_ldisc_restore(). · 598c2d41
    Tetsuo Handa 提交于
    syzbot is reporting crashes [1] triggered by memory allocation failure at
    tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_restore(). While syzbot stops at WARN_ON()
    due to panic_on_warn == true, panic_on_warn == false will after all trigger
    an OOPS by dereferencing old->ops->num if IS_ERR(old) == true.
    
    We can simplify tty_ldisc_restore() as three calls (old->ops->num, N_TTY,
    N_NULL) to tty_ldisc_failto() in addition to avoiding possible error
    pointer dereference.
    
    If someone reports kernel panic triggered by forcing all memory allocations
    for tty_ldisc_restore() to fail, we can consider adding __GFP_NOFAIL for
    tty_ldisc_restore() case.
