From linux-kernel Tue Apr 23 16:33:39 2024 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:33:39 +0000 To: linux-kernel Subject: [PATCH] tty: add the option to have a tty reject a new ldisc Message-Id: <20240423163339.59780-1-torvalds () linux-foundation ! org> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=171388986219948 .. 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.
