tty: Fix unbalanced BKL handling in error path

2010-05-13T19:10:56Z

Arnd noted: After the "retry_open:" label, we first get the tty_mutex and then the BKL. However a the end of tty_open, we jump back to retry_open with the BKL still held. If we run into this case, the tty_open function will be left with the BKL still held. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Fix regressions in the char driver conversion

2010-04-30T16:20:33Z

This forgot to update a field in the old char drivers. The fact nobody has basically noticed (except one mxser user) rather suggests most of these drivers could go into the bitbucket. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Cc: Jiri Slaby Cc: Dan Carpenter Cc: Andreas Pretzsch Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

pcmcia: fix error handling in cm4000_cs.c

In the original code we used -ENODEV as the number of bytes to copy_to_user() and we didn't release the locks. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Acked-by: Harald Welte Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove

2010-04-08T00:16:20Z

I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting. Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open: if (hp->count++ > 0) { tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags); hvc_kick(); return 0; } /* else count == 0 */ tty->driver_data = hp; hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0 But hvc_close has: tty_kref_get(tty); if (--hp->count == 0) { ... /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */ tty_kref_put(tty); ... } tty_kref_put(tty); Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when count reaches 0. The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

virtio: disable multiport console support.

2010-04-08T00:16:19Z

Move MULTIPORT feature and related config changes out of exported headers, and disable the feature at runtime. At this point, it seems less risky to keep code around until we can enable it than rip it out completely. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

virtio: console makes incorrect assumption about virtio API

2010-04-08T00:16:17Z

The get_buf() API sets the second arg to the number of bytes *written* by the other side; in this case it should be zero as these are output buffers. lguest gets this right (obviously kvm's console doesn't), resulting in continual buildup of console writes.

virtio: console: Fix early_put_chars usage

2010-04-08T00:16:15Z

Currently early_put_chars is not used by virtio_console because it can only be used once a port has been found, at which point it's too late because it is no longer needed. This patch should fix it. Acked-by: Christian Borntraeger Signed-off-by: Amit Shah Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

frv: hide uncached_access() when pgprot_noncached is not #defined

Hide uncached_access() when pgprot_noncached is not #defined. This prevents the following warning: CC drivers/char/mem.o drivers/char/mem.c:229: warning: 'uncached_access' defined but not used Repairs d7d4d849b4e3acc405ec222884936800ffb26d48 ("drivers/char/mem.c: cleanups").
