vt: selection, push sel_lock up
commit e8c75a3 upstream. sel_lock cannot nest in the console lock. Thanks to syzkaller, the kernel states firmly: > WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected > 5.6.0-rc3-syzkaller #0 Not tainted > ------------------------------------------------------ > syz-executor.4/20336 is trying to acquire lock: > ffff8880a2e952a0 (&tty->termios_rwsem){++++}, at: tty_unthrottle+0x22/0x100 drivers/tty/tty_ioctl.c:136 > > but task is already holding lock: > ffffffff89462e70 (sel_lock){+.+.}, at: paste_selection+0x118/0x470 drivers/tty/vt/selection.c:374 > > which lock already depends on the new lock. > > the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: > > -> #2 (sel_lock){+.+.}: > mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x30 kernel/locking/mutex.c:1118 > set_selection_kernel+0x3b8/0x18a0 drivers/tty/vt/selection.c:217 > set_selection_user+0x63/0x80 drivers/tty/vt/selection.c:181 > tioclinux+0x103/0x530 drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:3050 > vt_ioctl+0x3f1/0x3a30 drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:364 This is ioctl(TIOCL_SETSEL).

Locks held on the path: sel_lock -> termios_rwsem > other info that might help us debug this: > > Chain exists of: > &tty->termios_rwsem --> console_lock --> sel_lock Clearly. From the above, we have: console_lock -> sel_lock sel_lock -> termios_rwsem termios_rwsem -> console_lock Fix this by reversing the console_lock -> sel_lock dependency in ioctl(TIOCL_SETSEL). First, lock sel_lock, then console_lock.
