3.5.7.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 183d95cdd834381c594d3aa801c1f9f9c0c54fa9 upstream. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907 read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out). A simple test-case from Roman: // Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process. // EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set. void handler(int sig) { } main() { struct sigaction act; act.sa_handler = handler; act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART; sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0); struct termio ttp; ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp); while(1) { if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0) { if (errno == EINTR) { fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1); } } } } Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this particular problem. I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look equally wrong.
