Commit Message

Luke Shumaker Oct. 12, 2017, 3:53 a.m. UTC
In commit 15e9a4f Christian Brauner introduced logic for ttyname() sending
back ENODEV to signal that we can't get a name for the TTY because we
inherited it from a different mount namespace.

However, just because we inherited it from a different mount namespace, and
it isn't available at its original path, doesn't mean that its name is
unknowable; we can still find it by allowing the normal fall back on
iterating through devices.

A common scenario where this happens is with "/dev/console" in
containers.  Common container managers (including systemd-nspawn) will
call openpty() on a ptmx device in the host's mount namespace to
allocate a pty master/slave pair, then send the slave FD to the
container, and bind-mounted at "/dev/console" in the container's mount
namespace.  Inside of the container, the slave-end isn't available at
its original path ("/dev/pts/$X"), since the container mount namespace
has a separate devpts instance from the host (that path may or may not
exist in the container; if it does exist, it's not the same PTY slave
device).  Currently ttyname{_r}() sees that the original path isn't a
match, and fails early and gives up, even though if it kept searching
it would find the TTY at "/dev/console".  This fixes that so that the
ENODEV path does not force an early return inhibiting the fall-back
search.

Hey Luke,

Just a quick ping about the ttyname{_r}() patch.
Do you have any time-frame on when you'd be able to send an updated version of
the patch and do you have signed an FSF agreement yet? There are only ~2 months
left before the Glibc 2.27 development freeze and I'd like to see this
regression fixed in 2.27. :) Otherwise I wouldn't nag you. :)

Thanks!
Christian

I'm not sure if you missed it, but I submitted v2 of this patchset on
Thursday (I did CC you on it).  Thanks for the nagging :)
