[PATCH v2 4/7] tty: Fix ioctl(FIOASYNC) on hungup file

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Sun Jan 10 2016 - 00:47:25 EST


A small race window exists which allows signal-driven async i/o to be
enabled for the tty when the file ptr has already been hungup and
signal-driven i/o has been disabled:

CPU 0 CPU 1
----- ------
ioctl_fioasync(on)
filp->f_op->fasync(on) __tty_hangup()
tty_fasync(on) tty_lock()
tty_lock() ...
. filp->f_op = &hung_up_tty_fops;
(waiting) __tty_fasync(off)
. tty_unlock()
/* gets tty lock */
/* enables FASYNC */

Check the tty has not been hungup while holding tty_lock.
