tty: Fix data race between tiocsti() and flush_to_ldisc()
The ops->receive_buf() may be accessed concurrently from these two functions. If the driver flushes data to the line discipline receive_buf() method while tiocsti() is waiting for the ops->receive_buf() to finish its work, the data race will happen. For example: tty_ioctl |tty_ldisc_receive_buf ->tioctsi | ->tty_port_default_receive_buf | ->tty_ldisc_receive_buf ->hci_uart_tty_receive | ->hci_uart_tty_receive ->h4_recv | ->h4_recv In this case, the h4 receive buffer will be overwritten by the latecomer, and we will lost the data. Hence, change tioctsi() function to use the exclusive lock interface from tty_buffer to avoid the data race. Reported-by:<syzbot+97388eb9d31b997fe1d0@syzkaller.appspotmail.com> Reviewed-by:
