mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.10-rc1 commit 6bd23e0c2bb6c65d4f5754d1456bc9a4427fc59b category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IACT4T CVE: CVE-2024-40966
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
--------------------------------
... and use it to limit the virtual terminals to just N_TTY. They are kind of special, and in particular, the "con_write()" routine violates the "writes cannot sleep" rule that some ldiscs rely on.
This avoids the
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/printk/printk.c:2659
when N_GSM has been attached to a virtual console, and gsmld_write() calls con_write() while holding a spinlock, and con_write() then tries to get the console lock.
