Subject: [PATCH] tty: n_tty: read termios under lock in poll
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 10:59:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510025940.1884932-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)
n_tty_poll() uses input_available_p() to decide whether buffered input
makes the tty readable. That helper reads termios state through
L_EXTPROC(), VMIN, and VTIME, but the poll path does not hold the read
side of tty->termios_rwsem.
tty_set_termios() updates tty->termios under the write side of the same
semaphore, including c_lflag and c_cc[]. n_tty_read() already takes the
read side before reading the same termios fields and before calling
input_available_p(). Protect the poll-side readiness checks the same way
so poll observes a coherent termios state when deciding whether to report
readable input.
Do not hold termios_rwsem across tty_buffer_flush_work(), matching the
read path which drops the semaphore before flushing pending receive work
and then checks input availability again after reacquiring it.
