Raghavendra Rao Ananta 793e15fb66 tty: hvc: Fix data abort due to race in hvc_open
[ Upstream commit e2bd1dcbe1aa34ff5570b3427c530e4332ecf0fe ]

Potentially, hvc_open() can be called in parallel when two tasks calls
open() on /dev/hvcX. In such a scenario, if the hp->ops->notifier_add()
callback in the function fails, where it sets the tty->driver_data to
NULL, the parallel hvc_open() can see this NULL and cause a memory abort.
Hence, serialize hvc_open and check if tty->private_data is NULL before
proceeding ahead.

The issue can be easily reproduced by launching two tasks simultaneously
that does nothing but open() and close() on /dev/hvcX.
For example:
$ ./simple_open_close /dev/hvc0 & ./simple_open_close /dev/hvc0 &

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
