The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 4903fde8047a28299d1fc79c1a0dcc255e928f12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hui Li Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2023 10:44:50 +0800 Subject: tty: fix hang on tty device with no_room set MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It is possible to hang pty devices in this case, the reader was blocking at epoll on master side, the writer was sleeping at wait_woken inside n_tty_write on slave side, and the write buffer on tty_port was full, we found that the reader and writer would never be woken again and blocked forever. The problem was caused by a race between reader and kworker: n_tty_read(reader): n_tty_receive_buf_common(kworker): copy_from_read_buf()| |room = N_TTY_BUF_SIZE - (ldata->read_head - tail) |room <= 0 n_tty_kick_worker() | |ldata->no_room = true After writing to slave device, writer wakes up kworker to flush data on tty_port to reader, and the kworker finds that reader has no room to store data so room <= 0 is met. At this moment, reader consumes all the data on reader buffer and calls n_tty_kick_worker to check ldata->no_room which is false and reader quits reading. Then kworker sets ldata->no_room=true and quits too. If write buffer is not full, writer will wake kworker to flush data again after following writes, but if write buffer is full and writer goes to sleep, kworker will never be woken again and tty device is blocked. This problem can be solved with a check for read buffer size inside n_tty_receive_buf_common, if read buffer is empty and ldata->no_room is true, a call to n_tty_kick_worker is necessary to keep flushing data to reader.
