A simple change would have been to print error message instead of WARN_ON.
However, the callers assume that tty_set_termios() always returns 0 and
don't check return value. The complete solution is fixing all the callers
to check error and bail out to fix the WARN_ON.

This fix changes tty_set_termios() to return error and all the callers
to check error and bail out. The reproducer is used to reproduce the
problem and verify the fix.

Can that ldisc end up set on pty master?  And does it make any sense there?

The initial objective of the patch is to prevent the WARN_ON by making
the change to return error instead of WARN_ON. However, without changes
to places that don't check the return and keep making progress, there
will be secondary problems.

Without this change to return here, instead of WARN_ON, it will fail
with the following NULL pointer dereference at the next thing hci_uart_set_flow_control() attempts.

status = tty->driver->ops->tiocmget(tty);

IOW, I don't believe that this patch makes any sense.  If anything,
we need to prevent unconditional tty_set_termios() on the path
that *does* lead to calling it for pty.


I don't think preventing unconditional tty_set_termios() is enough to
prevent secondary problems such as the one above.

For example, the following call chain leads to the WARN_ON that was
reported. Even if void hci_uart_set_baudrate() prevents the very first
tty_set_termios() call, its caller hci_uart_setup() continues with
more tty setup. It goes ahead to call driver setup callback. The
driver callback goes on to do more setup calling tty_set_termios().

WARN_ON call path:
 hci_uart_set_baudrate+0x1cc/0x250 drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c:378
 hci_uart_setup+0xa2/0x490 drivers/bluetooth/hci_ldisc.c:401
 hci_dev_do_open+0x6b1/0x1920 net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:1423

Once this WARN_ON is changed to return error, the following
happens, when hci_uart_setup() does driver setup callback.

kernel: [10140.649836]  mrvl_setup+0x17/0x80 [hci_uart]
kernel: [10140.649840]  hci_uart_setup+0x56/0x160 [hci_uart]
kernel: [10140.649850]  hci_dev_do_open+0xe6/0x630 [bluetooth]
kernel: [10140.649860]  hci_power_on+0x52/0x220 [bluetooth]

I think continuing to catch the invalid condition in tty_set_termios()
and preventing progress by checking return value is a straight forward
change to avoid secondary problems, and it might be difficult to catch
all the cases where it could fail. Here is the reproducer for reference:


#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include <endian.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>

uint64_t r[1] = {0xffffffffffffffff};

int main(void)
{
  syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000, 0x1000000, 3, 0x32, -1, 0);
  long res = 0;
  memcpy((void*)0x20000100, "/dev/ptmx\x00", 10);
  res = syscall(__NR_openat, 0xffffffffffffff9c, 0x20000100, 0, 0);
  if (res != -1)
    r[0] = res;
  *(uint32_t*)0x200000c0 = 0xf;
  syscall(__NR_ioctl, r[0], 0x5423, 0x200000c0);
  syscall(__NR_ioctl, r[0], 0x400455c8, 0xb);
  return 0;
}
