Subject: [PATCH] vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release()
is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown().  This
occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE only considers a virtual console to be
in-use if it has a tty_struct with count > 0.  But actually when
count == 0, the tty is still in the process of being closed.

Fix this by treating a virtual console as in-use if it has a tty_struct
at all, even with zero count; and by making VT_DISALLOCATE take the
tty_mutex in order to provide synchronization with release_tty().

Reproducer:
	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <linux/vt.h>
	#include <sys/ioctl.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main()
	{
		if (fork()) {
			for (;;)
				close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR));
		} else {
			int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR);

			for (;;)
				ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5);
		}
	}
