Fix OpenSSH pty regression on close
OpenSSH expects the (non-blocking) read() of pty master to return EAGAIN only if it has received all of the slave-side output after it has received SIGCHLD. This used to work on pre-3.12 kernels. This fix effectively forces non-blocking read() and poll() to block for parallel i/o to complete for all ttys. It also unwinds these changes: 1) f8747d4a466ab2cafe56112c51b3379f9fdb7a12 tty: Fix pty master read() after slave closes 2) 52bce7f8d4fc633c9a9d0646eef58ba6ae9a3b73 pty, n_tty: Simplify input processing on final close 3) 1a48632ffed61352a7810ce089dc5a8bcd505a60 pty: Fix input race when closing Inspired by analysis and patch from Marc Aurele La France <tsi@tuyoix.net> Reported-by: Volth <openssh@volth.com> Reported-by: Marc Aurele La France <tsi@tuyoix.net> BugLink: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52 BugLink: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2492 Signed-off-by: Brian Bloniarz <brian.bloniarz@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
