3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-ker...@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> commit ebec3f8f5271139df618ebdf8427e24ba102ba94 upstream. syzbot is reporting stalls at __process_echoes() [1]. This is because since ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail becomes true for some reason, the discard loop is serving as almost infinite loop. This patch tries to avoid falling into ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail situation by making access to echo_* variables more carefully. Since reset_buffer_flags() is called without output_lock held, it should not touch echo_* variables. And omit a call to reset_buffer_flags() from n_tty_open() by using vzalloc(). Since add_echo_byte() is called without output_lock held, it needs memory barrier between storing into echo_buf[] and incrementing echo_head counter. echo_buf() needs corresponding memory barrier before reading echo_buf[]. Lack of handling the possibility of not-yet-stored multi-byte operation might be the reason of falling into ldata->echo_commit < ldata->echo_tail situation, for if I do WARN_ON(ldata->echo_commit == tail + 1) prior to echo_buf(ldata, tail + 1), the WARN_ON() fires. Also, explicitly masking with buffer for the former "while" loop, and use ldata->echo_commit > tail for the latter "while" loop.
