Yi Yang f1cda3c5dd tty: tty_jobctrl: fix pid memleak in disassociate_ctty() 
[ Upstream commit 11e7f27b79 ]

There is a pid leakage:
------------------------------
unreferenced object 0xffff88810c181940 (size 224):
  comm "sshd", pid 8191, jiffies 4294946950 (age 524.570s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de  .............N..
    ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  ....kkkk........
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff814774e6>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x5c6/0x9b0
    [<ffffffff81177342>] alloc_pid+0x72/0x570
    [<ffffffff81140ac4>] copy_process+0x1374/0x2470
    [<ffffffff81141d77>] kernel_clone+0xb7/0x900

    [<ffffffff8114269b>] __x64_sys_clone+0x2b/0x30
    [<ffffffff83965a72>] do_syscall_64+0x32/0x80
    [<ffffffff83a00085>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x61/0xc6

It turns out that there is a race condition between disassociate_ctty() and
tty_signal_session_leader(), which caused this leakage.

The pid memleak is triggered by the following race:
task[sshd]                     task[bash]
-----------------------        -----------------------
                               disassociate_ctty();
                               spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
                               put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp);
                               current->signal->tty_old_pgrp = NULL;
                               tty = tty_kref_get(current->signal->tty);
                               spin_unlock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
tty_vhangup();
tty_lock(tty);
...
tty_signal_session_leader();
spin_lock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
if (tty->ctrl.pgrp) //tty->ctrl.pgrp is not NULL
p->signal->tty_old_pgrp = get_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp); //An extra get
spin_unlock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
...
tty_unlock(tty);
                               if (tty) {
                                   tty_lock(tty);
                                   ...
                                   put_pid(tty->ctrl.pgrp);
                                   tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL; //It's too late
                                   ...
                                   tty_unlock(tty);
                               }

The issue is believed to be introduced by commit c8bcd9c5be ("tty:
Fix ->session locking") who moves the unlock of siglock in
disassociate_ctty() above "if (tty)", making a small window allowing
tty_signal_session_leader() to kick in. It can be easily reproduced by
adding a delay before "if (tty)" and at the entrance of
tty_signal_session_leader().

To fix this issue, we move "put_pid(current->signal->tty_old_pgrp)" after
"tty->ctrl.pgrp = NULL".

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
