[PATCH v2 13/11] tty: splice_write: disable

From: Ahelenia Ziemiańska
Date: Sun Dec 24 2023 - 00:02:16 EST


Given:
cat > ttyW.c <<^D
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int pt = posix_openpt(O_RDWR);
grantpt(pt);
unlockpt(pt);
int cl = open(ptsname(pt), O_WRONLY);
for (;;)
splice(0, 0, cl, 0, 128 * 1024 * 1024, 0);
}
^D
cc ttyW.c -o ttyW
mkfifo fifo
truncate 32M 32M
./ttyW < fifo &
cp 32M fifo &
sleep 0.1
read -r _ < fifo
ttyW used to sleep in splice and the shell used to enter an
uninterruptible sleep in open("fifo");
now the splice returns -EINVAL and the whole program completes.

This is also symmetric with the splice_read removal.

It hit me that I should actually probably exhaustively re-evaluate
splice_write as well since re-evaluating splice_read went so well.

fs/fuse/dev.c: .splice_write = fuse_dev_splice_write,
drivers/char/virtio_console.c: .splice_write = port_fops_splice_write,
locks, takes some pages, unlocks, writes, so OK

drivers/char/mem.c: .splice_write = splice_write_null,
drivers/char/mem.c: .splice_write = splice_write_zero,
no-op

drivers/char/random.c: .splice_write = iter_file_splice_write,
drivers/char/random.c: .splice_write = iter_file_splice_write,
AFAICT write_pool_user is okay to invoke like this?

net/socket.c: .splice_write = splice_to_socket,
already dealt with in 11/11

drivers/tty/tty_io.c: .splice_write = iter_file_splice_write,
drivers/tty/tty_io.c: .splice_write = iter_file_splice_write,
they do lock the pipe and try the write with the lock held;
we already killed splice_read so just kill splice_write for symmetry
(13/11)

fs/fuse/file.c: .splice_write = iter_file_splice_write,
same logic as splice_read applies (14/11)
