Eric Biggers 54584f7957 vt: vt_ioctl: fix VT_DISALLOCATE freeing in-use virtual console
commit ca4463bf84 upstream.

The VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl can free a virtual console while tty_release()
is still running, causing a use-after-free in con_shutdown().  This
occurs because VT_DISALLOCATE considers a virtual console's
'struct vc_data' to be unused as soon as the corresponding tty's
refcount hits 0.  But actually it may be still being closed.

Fix this by making vc_data be reference-counted via the embedded
'struct tty_port'.  A newly allocated virtual console has refcount 1.
Opening it for the first time increments the refcount to 2.  Closing it
for the last time decrements the refcount (in tty_operations::cleanup()
so that it happens late enough), as does VT_DISALLOCATE.

Reproducer:
	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <linux/vt.h>
	#include <sys/ioctl.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	int main()
	{
		if (fork()) {
			for (;;)
				close(open("/dev/tty5", O_RDWR));
		} else {
			int fd = open("/dev/tty10", O_RDWR);

			for (;;)
				ioctl(fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, 5);
		}
	}

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
