Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [[email protected]: 3270 fix] [[email protected]: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Acked-by: Alan Cox <[email protected]> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <[email protected]> Cc: Chris Wright <[email protected]> Cc: Roland McGrath <[email protected]> Cc: Stephen Smalley <[email protected]> Cc: James Morris <[email protected]> Cc: "David S.
