    devpts_get_tty() should validate inode · edfacdd6
    Sukadev Bhattiprolu 提交于
    devpts_get_tty() assumes that the inode passed in is associated with a valid
    pty.  But if the only reference to the pty is via a bind-mount, the inode
    passed to devpts_get_tty() while valid, would refer to a pty that no longer
    exists.
    
    With a lot of debug effort, Grzegorz Nosek developed a small program (see
    below) to reproduce a crash on recent kernels. This crash is a regression
    introduced by the commit:
    
    	commit 527b3e47
    	Author: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>
    	Date:   Mon Oct 13 10:43:08 2008 +0100
    
    To fix, ensure that the dentry associated with the inode has not yet been
    deleted/unhashed by devpts_pty_kill().
