    [PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking · 24ec839c
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    Fix the locking of signal->tty.
    
    Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
    by most other members of ->signal/->sighand.  And unless we are 'current'
    or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
    
    (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
    
    Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
    tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid.  Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
    are governed by their open file handles.  This leaves some holes for tty
    access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
    
    It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
    
    (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
           be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
           it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info
           invocations)
