TTY: disable debugging warning

2013-03-04T08:52:09Z

We added a warning to flush_to_ldisc to report cases when it is called with a NULL tty. It was for debugging purposes and it lead to a patchset from Peter Hurley. The patchset however did not make it to 3.9, so disable the warning now to not disturb people. We can re-add it when the series is in and we are hunting for another bugs.

pps: Move timestamp read into PPS code proper

2013-02-13T18:13:58Z

The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading to its breakage. The previous patches fixed the crashing. This one reduces coupling further by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method. This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic, and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

tty: Correct tty buffer flush.

2013-01-20T23:50:36Z

The root of problem is carelessly zeroing pointer(in function __tty_buffer_flush()), when another thread can use it. It can be cause of "NULL pointer dereference". Main idea of the patch, this is never free last (struct tty_buffer) in the active buffer. Only flush the data for ldisc(buf->head->read = buf->head->commit). At that moment driver can collect(write) data in buffer without conflict. It is repeat behavior of flush_to_ldisc(), only without feeding data to ldisc. Also revert: commit c56a00a165712fd73081f40044b1e64407bb1875 tty: hold lock across tty buffer finding and buffer filling In order to delete the unneeded locks any more.

TTY: switch tty_schedule_flip

2013-01-16T06:43:15Z

TTY: switch tty_flip_buffer_push

2013-01-16T06:30:15Z

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get in those paths. Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed: tty_flip_buffer_push. IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get at all yet. Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it anyway.

TTY: move low_latency to tty_port

2013-01-16T06:23:16Z

One point is to have less places where we actually need tty pointer. The other is that low_latency is bound to buffer processing and buffers are now in tty_port. So it makes sense to move low_latency to tty_port too. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: convert more flipping functions

2013-01-16T06:17:29Z

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty pointer in many call sites. Only tty_port will be needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get calls in those paths. Now 4 string flipping ones are on turn: * tty_insert_flip_string_flags * tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag * tty_prepare_flip_string * tty_prepare_flip_string_flags Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: switch tty_buffer_request_room to tty_port

2013-01-16T06:17:28Z

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty pointer in many call sites. Only tty_port will be needed and hence no more tty_port_tty_get calls in those paths. Here we start with tty_buffer_request_room. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: add missing newlines to WARN_RATELIMIT

2012-10-25T18:30:27Z

WARN_RATELIMIT() expects the warning to end with a newline if one is needed. Not doing so results in odd looking warnings such as: [ 1339.454272] tty is NULLPid: 7147, comm: kworker/4:0 Tainted: G W 3.7.0-rc2-next-20121025-sasha-00001-g673f98e-dirty #75 Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: Report warning when low_latency flag is wrongly used

2012-10-24T18:21:32Z

When a driver has the low_latency flag set and uses the schedule_flip() function to initiate copying data to the line discipline, a workqueue is scheduled in but never actually flushed. This is incorrect use of the low_latency flag (driver should not support the low_latency flag, or use the tty_flip_buffer_push() function instead). Make sure a warning is reported to catch incorrect use of the low_latency flag.
