From 55fa4acf3f2750cf70fbae4534b630f74397e6b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Shah Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:17:13 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: fix race in port_fops_open() and port unplug commit 671bdea2b9f210566610603ecbb6584c8a201c8c upstream. Between open() being called and processed, the port can be unplugged. Check if this happened, and bail out. A simple test script to reproduce this is: while true; do for i in $(seq 1 100); do echo $i > /dev/vport0p3; done; done; This opens and closes the port a lot of times; unplugging the port while this is happening triggers the bug.
