Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 22:38:18 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <010701a189d0653d-7b03ce9b-4d80-46f2-883b-679d5de68993-000000@eu-central-1.amazonses.com> (raw)

> Since commit 23abb203a41a ("ve/vtty: fix use-after-free on concurrent
> tty close and reopen") vtty_open_master() refuses a pair whose slave
> count has dropped to zero: the last CT-side close has committed to the
> final close, and the pair stays in the vtty map only until
> release_tty() runs. The refusal is -EBUSY, the errno which already
> means a console is attached, so userspace cannot tell a pair that is
> about to go from one that is taken, and vzctl gives up:
> 
>   Error opening CT tty: Device or resource busy
> 
> The window opens whenever the last process in the CT closes its tty:
> getty respawn, login with autologin, SAK. "vzctl console" run right
> after "vzctl start --wait" hits it.
> 
> Return -EAGAIN for the dying pair. Nothing else on the
> VE_CONFIGURE_OPEN_TTY path returns -EAGAIN, so it can only mean "try
> again", which is what vzctl will do. An in-CT open of such a pair gets
> -EAGAIN from tty_reopen() and tty_open() retries it the same way.
> Retrying inside vtty_open_master() instead would have to drop tty_mutex
> for release_tty() to progress, and the global vtty context with it.
> 
> Let ve_vtty_stress accept -EAGAIN as an expected open error.
