+Subject: n_tty: Fix n_tty_write crash when echoing in raw mode
+
+The tty atomic_write_lock does not provide an exclusion guarantee for
+the tty driver if the termios settings are LECHO & !OPOST. And since
+it is unexpected and not allowed to call TTY buffer helpers like
+tty_insert_flip_string concurrently, this may lead to crashes when
+concurrect writers call pty_write. In that case the following two
+writers:
+* the ECHOing from a workqueue and
+* pty_write from the process
+race and can overflow the corresponding TTY buffer like follows.
+
+If we look into tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag, there is:
+ int space = __tty_buffer_request_room(port, goal, flags);
+ struct tty_buffer *tb = port->buf.tail;
+ ...
+ memcpy(char_buf_ptr(tb, tb->used), chars, space);
+ ...
+ tb->used += space;
+
+so the race of the two can result in something like this:
+ A B
+__tty_buffer_request_room
+ __tty_buffer_request_room
+memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...)
+tb->used += space;
+ memcpy(buf(tb->used), ...) ->BOOM
+
+B's memcpy is past the tty_buffer due to the previous A's tb->used
+increment.
+
+Since the N_TTY line discipline input processing can output
+concurrently with a tty write, obtain the N_TTY ldisc output_lock to
+serialize echo output with normal tty writes. This ensures the tty
+buffer helper tty_insert_flip_string is not called concurrently and
+everything is fine.
+
+Note that this is nicely reproducible by an ordinary user using
+forkpty and some setup around that (raw termios + ECHO). And it is
+present in kernels at least after commit
+d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc (pty: Rework the pty layer to
+use the normal buffering logic) in 2.6.31-rc3.
+
+js: add more info to the commit log
+js: switch to bool
+js: lock unconditionally
+js: lock only the tty->ops->write call
