[PATCH 02/11] hso: fix crash when device disappears while serial port is open

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the device disappear, the function hso_disconnect() is called to
perform cleanup. In the cleanup function, hso_free_interface() calls
tty_port_tty_hangup() in view of scheduling a work to hang up the tty if
needed. If the port was not open then hso_serial_ref_free() is called
directly to cleanup everything. Otherwise, hso_serial_ref_free() is called
when the last fd associated to the port is closed.

For each open port, tty_release() will call the close method,
hso_serial_close(), which drops the last kref and call
hso_serial_ref_free() which unregisters, destroys the tty port
and finally frees the structure in which the tty_port structure
is included. Later, in tty_release(), more precisely when release_tty()
is called, the tty_port previously freed is accessed to cancel
the tty buf workqueue and it leads to a crash.

In view of avoiding this crash, we add a cleanup method that is called
at the end of the hangup process and we drop the last kref in this
function when all the ports have been closed, when tty_port is no
more needed and when it is safe to free the structure containing the
tty_port structure.
