Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: tty: serial: Fix deadlock in sa1100_set_termios()
There is a deadlock in sa1100_set_termios(), which is shown
below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| sa1100_enable_ms()
sa1100_set_termios() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | sa1100_timeout()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold sport->port.lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need sport->port.lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
sa1100_set_termios() will block forever.
This patch moves del_timer_sync() before spin_lock_irqsave()
in order to prevent the deadlock.
