pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.

2013-02-28T13:38:31Z

commit d953e0e837e65ecc1ddaa4f9560f7925878a0de6 upstream. Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it (in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy). Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles. A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then the deallocation ordering becomes simpler. But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that for later.

pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function

2013-02-28T13:38:30Z

commit 513b032c98b4b9414aa4e9b4a315cb1bf0380101 upstream. The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer. Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low (n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup, so the timing isn't affected.) It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not something that affects users.

idr: rename MAX_LEVEL to MAX_IDR_LEVEL

2012-10-05T18:04:56Z

To avoid name conflicts: drivers/video/riva/fbdev.c:281:9: sparse: preprocessor token MAX_LEVEL redefined While at it, also make the other names more consistent and add parentheses.

pps: return PTR_ERR on error in device_create

2012-07-31T00:25:21Z

We should return PTR_ERR if the call to the device_create function fails. Without this patch we instead return the value from a successful call to cdev_add if the call to device_create fails.

pps: class_create() returns an ERR_PTR, not NULL

2012-03-05T23:49:43Z

class_create() never returns NULLs only ERR_PTRs. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Cc: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: add kernel consumer support

2011-01-13T16:03:21Z

Add an optional feature of PPSAPI, kernel consumer support, which uses the added hardpps() function. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: make idr lock a mutex and protect idr_pre_get

2011-01-13T16:03:20Z

Now pps_idr_lock is never used in interrupt context so we can replace spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq with plain spin_lock/spin_unlock. But there is also a potential race condition when someone can steal an id which was allocated by idr_pre_get before it is used. So convert spin lock to mutex and protect the whole id generation process. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Cc: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: move idr stuff to pps.c

2011-01-13T16:03:20Z

Since now idr is only used to manage char device id's and not used in kernel API anymore it should be moved to pps.c. This also makes it possible to release id only at actual device freeing so nobody can register a pps device with the same id while our device is not freed yet.

pps: convert printk/pr_* to dev_*

2011-01-13T16:03:19Z

Since we now have direct pointers to struct pps_device everywhere it's easy to use dev_* functions to print messages instead of plain printks. Where dev_* cannot be used printks are converted to pr_*. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev Acked-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: access pps device by direct pointer

2011-01-13T16:03:19Z

Using device index as a pointer needs some unnecessary work to be done every time the pointer is needed (in irq handler for example). Using a direct pointer is much more easy (and safe as well).
