[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 074/156] tty: don't panic on OOM in tty_set_ldisc()

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

 



From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5362544bebe85071188dd9e479b5a5040841c895 ]

If tty_ldisc_open() fails in tty_set_ldisc(), it tries to go back
to the old discipline or N_TTY. But that can fail as well, in such
case it panics. This is not a graceful way to handle OOM.

Leave ldisc==NULL if all attempts fail instead.
Also use existing tty_ldisc_reinit() helper function instead of
tty_ldisc_restore(). Also don't WARN/BUG in tty_ldisc_reinit()
if N_TTY fails, which would have the same net effect of bringing
kernel down on OOM. Instead print a single line message about
what has happened.
