serial: core: Fix crashes while echoing when closing
While closing, new rx data may be received after the input buffers have been flushed but before stop_rx() halts receiving [1]. The new data might not be processed by flush_to_ldisc() until after uart_shutdown() and normal input processing is re-enabled (ie., tty->closing = 0). The race is outlined below: CPU 0 | CPU 1 | uart_close() | tty_port_close_start() | tty->closing = 1 | tty_ldisc_flush() | | => IRQ | while (LSR & data ready) | uart_insert_char() | tty_flip_buffer_push() | <= EOI stop_rx() | . uart_shutdown() | . free xmit.buf | . tty_port_tty_set(NULL) | . tty->closing = 0 | . | flush_to_ldisc() | n_tty_receive_buf_common() | __receive_buf() | ... | commit_echoes() | uart_flush_chars() | __uart_start() | ** OOPS on port.tty deref ** tty_ldisc_flush() | Input processing must be prevented from echoing (tty->closing = 1) until _after_ the input buffers have been flushed again at the end of uart_close(). [1] In fact, some input may actually be buffered _after_ stop_rx() since the rx interrupt may have already triggered but not yet been handled when stop_rx() disables rx interrupts.
