Hi,

recently I got a report of a crash at pty_unix98_shutdown. after analyzing the
issue, I managed to create a small reproducer:

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh

while true; do
        find /sys
        ./dopty
        echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
        ps aux
        sleep 40
done

$ cat dopty.c
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        pid_t pid;
        int ptm_fd, pty_fd, tty_fd, tout;
        char *pty_name;
        int c = 0;

        while (c < 100) {
                c++;
                pid = fork();
                if (pid != 0)
                        continue;
                daemon(1, 0);
                ptm_fd = posix_openpt(O_RDWR);
                if (ptm_fd < 0)
                        return -1;
                grantpt(ptm_fd);
                unlockpt(ptm_fd);
                pty_name = ptsname(ptm_fd);
                pty_fd = open(pty_name, O_RDWR);
                tty_fd = open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR);
                pid = fork();
                if (pid == 0)  {
                        ioctl(tty_fd, TIOCNOTTY, NULL);
                        setsid();
                        close(pty_fd);
                        close(ptm_fd);
                        sleep(60);
                        return 0;
                }
                sleep(10);
                return 0;
        }
        sleep(30);
        return 0;
}

Running test.sh above, after second iteration I'm able to get the following
oops at devpts_kill_index:

The problem above is that on final close, pty_unix98_shutdown may give an stale/
already evicted inode from tty->driver_data. Easily to happen as the test case
shows, in case all opened /dev/pts/N references are closed before "/dev/tty". I
also expect in a rare case where all ptmx references are gone/closed, this also
could happen on final close when the master tty is given to pty_unix98_shutdown.

Following this is a proposed fix to the problem, I tested here and it fixed the
issue.

Please take a look and review, thanks!

Regards,
Herton.
