------------------ From: Russ Gorby <russ.go...@intel.com> commit 5e44708f75b0f8712da715d6babb0c21089b2317 upstream. There were some locking holes in the management of the MUX's message queue for 2 code paths: 1) gsmld_write_wakeup 2) receipt of CMD_FCON flow-control message In both cases gsm_data_kick is called w/o locking so it can collide with other other instances of gsm_data_kick (pulling messages tx_tail) or potentially other instances of __gsm_data_queu (adding messages to tx_head) Changed to take the tx_lock in these 2 cases Signed-off-by: Russ Gorby <russ.go...@intel.com> Tested-by: Yin, Fengwei <fengwei....@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <a...@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gre...@linuxfoundation.org> --- drivers/tty/n_gsm.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/tty/n_gsm.c +++ b/drivers/tty/n_gsm.c @@ -1193,6 +1193,8 @@ static void gsm_control_message(struct g u8 *data, int clen) { u8 buf[1]; + unsigned long flags; + switch (command) { case CMD_CLD: { struct gsm_dlci *dlci = gsm->dlci[0]; @@ -1218,7 +1220,9 @@ static void gsm_control_message(struct g gsm->constipated = 0; gsm_control_reply(gsm, CMD_FCOFF, NULL, 0); /* Kick the link in case it is idling */ + spin_lock_irqsave(&gsm->tx_lock, flags); gsm_data_kick(gsm); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&gsm->tx_lock, flags); break; case CMD_MSC: /* Out of band modem line change indicator for a DLCI */ @@ -2380,12 +2384,12 @@ static void gsmld_write_wakeup(struct tt /* Queue poll */ clear_bit(TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP, &tty->flags); + spin_lock_irqsave(&gsm->tx_lock, flags); gsm_data_kick(gsm); if (gsm->tx_bytes < TX_THRESH_LO) { - spin_lock_irqsave(&gsm->tx_lock, flags); gsm_dlci_data_sweep(gsm); - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&gsm->tx_lock, flags); } + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&gsm->tx_lock, flags); } /** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
