From 9ce71148b027e2bd27016139cae1c39401587695 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Triplett Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:58:27 -0700 Subject: devpts: if initialization failed, don't crash when opening /dev/ptmx If devpts failed to initialize, it would store an ERR_PTR in the global devpts_mnt. A subsequent open of /dev/ptmx would call devpts_new_index, which would dereference devpts_mnt and crash. Avoid storing invalid values in devpts_mnt; leave it NULL instead. Make both devpts_new_index and devpts_pty_new fail gracefully with ENODEV in that case, which then becomes the return value to the userspace open call on /dev/ptmx.
