This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

tty/vt: fix write/write race in ioctl(KDSKBSENT) handler

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-next branch.

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 also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The bug manifests as an attempt to access deallocated memory:

The bug manifests on systemd systems with multiple vtcon devices: # cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon0/name (S) dummy device # cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon1/name (M) frame buffer device

There systemd runs 'loadkeys' tool in tapallel for each vtcon instance. This causes two parallel ioctl(KDSKBSENT) calls to race into adding the same entry into 'func_table' array at:

drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl()

The function has no locking around writes to 'func_table'.

The simplest reproducer is to have initrams with the following init on a 8-CPU machine x86_64:

#!/bin/sh

loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &

loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 & wait

The change adds lock on write path only. Reads are still racy.
