Description CTurt 2016-01-27 15:05:42 UTC
`genkbd_commonioctl` function from `sys/dev/kbd/kbd.c` begins by calling `spltty()` to block hard interrupts from TTY:

int
genkbd_commonioctl(keyboard_t *kbd, u_long cmd, caddr_t arg)
{
	keymap_t *mapp;
	okeymap_t *omapp;
	keyarg_t *keyp;
	fkeyarg_t *fkeyp;splx
	int s;
	int i, j;
	int error;

	s = spltty();
	switch (cmd) {

It should always restore the original priority level using the `splx` function before returning. For example at the end of the function:

	splx(s);
	return (0);
}

And for any commands which need to return early:

	case GIO_KEYMAP:	/* get keyboard translation table */
		error = copyout(kbd->kb_keymap, *(void **)arg,
		    sizeof(keymap_t));
		splx(s);
		return (error);

The problem is that for the `OGIO_KEYMAP` command, this does not happen:

	case OGIO_KEYMAP:	/* get keyboard translation table (compat) */
		mapp = kbd->kb_keymap;
		omapp = (okeymap_t *)arg;
		omapp->n_keys = mapp->n_keys;
		for (i = 0; i < NUM_KEYS; i++) {
			for (j = 0; j < NUM_STATES; j++)
				omapp->key[i].map[j] =
				    mapp->key[i].map[j];
			omapp->key[i].spcl = mapp->key[i].spcl;
			omapp->key[i].flgs = mapp->key[i].flgs;
		}
		return (0);

My guess is that since this is a compatibility command, it was copied into here from somewhere else, which is why the call to `splx` is missing.
Comment 1 CTurt 2016-01-27 15:29:21 UTC
The solution is to replace the `return` with `break`:

Comment 3 CTurt 2016-01-27 18:21:33 UTC
Just wanted to clarify that since `spltty` and `splx` actually do nothing (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206680), this isn't actually a bug, but I'd still like to see it patched as a matter of code correctness.

The real problem which needs to be addressed is the race conditions caused by the removal of `splx`, especially in `kbd_realloc_array` (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206680).

So you mean still patch is needed for 'break;' instead of 'return (0);'?
And can you please clarify what do you mean by 'do nothing' exactly ?
And how race condition occurs?

if it's possible each one in its 'file bug' :D
Thanks, Mokhi.
Comment 5 CTurt 2016-01-27 18:32:53 UTC
Sorry if I wasn't clear.

The patch from `return` to `break` will correct the code so that it always calls `splx` after calling `spltty`.

However, the fact that `splx` isn't called doesn't actually matter, since `splx` doesn't do anything anyway.

As I said, it would be nice to get this patched anyway so that the behaviour is consistent to prevent further confusion (alternatively, the `spltty` and `splx` calls could be removed from `genkbd_commonioctl` altogether).

For reference, the macros are defined in `sys/sys/systm.h`:

/* Stubs for obsolete functions that used to be for interrupt management */
static __inline intrmask_t	splbio(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline intrmask_t	splcam(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline intrmask_t	splclock(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline intrmask_t	splhigh(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline intrmask_t	splimp(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline intrmask_t	splnet(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline intrmask_t	spltty(void)		{ return 0; }
static __inline void		splx(intrmask_t ipl __unused)	{ return; }

The race condition I refer to is this bug which I filed:

From patch point of view it's done.
Just waiting to be committed.
