Subject: [PATCH 2/2] n_tty: Access echo_* variables carefully.
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.
