Since commit d99d38540bf0 ("fs: make close_files() synchronous") the final __fput() of every file runs inside exit_files(). So when the session leader holds the last open of its tty the tty is released before disassociate_ctty() runs. tty_release() clears signal->tty for the whole session in session_clear_tty() once the count drops to zero and sends no signal doing so. disassociate_ctty(1) then finds neither a tty nor a tty_old_pgrp and does nothing. The foreground process group loses its SIGHUP: do_exit() exit_files() close_files() tty_release() tty->count == 0 session_clear_tty() signal->tty = NULL, no signal disassociate_ctty(1) get_current_tty() NULL signal->tty_old_pgrp NULL, nothing sent That only affects real ttys. For a pty the master's open keeps the slave's count above zero. And it only affects a foreground job that holds no descriptor to the tty anymore while its session leader exits. Everything else is unchanged. The DTR drop on the last close happens in tty_port_shutdown() regardless, stopped jobs get their SIGHUP from kill_orphaned_pgrp() and signal->tty is cleared either way. Before that commit the final __fput() ran from exit_task_work() which comes after disassociate_ctty(). That order isn't old. Until v3.14 exit_task_work() came right after exit_files() and before v3.6 fput() was synchronous, so the tty was always released first. Commit c39df5fa37b0 ("exit: call disassociate_ctty() before exit_task_namespaces()") moved disassociate_ctty() up to fix a pppd crash and in front of exit_task_work() as a side effect. The hangup in this case has worked since then and that's eleven years of userspace being able to rely on it. Hang the tty up before closing the files. This is the ordinary hangup with the file still open: __tty_hangup() swaps in hung_up_tty_fops and tty_release() runs from the close afterwards as it does when a modem drops the line. disassociate_ctty() stays in front of exit_task_namespaces() which the pppd fix needs.
