tty: Halve flip buffer GFP_ATOMIC memory consumption

2013-12-09T19:09:24Z

tty flip buffers use GFP_ATOMIC allocations for received data which is to be processed by the line discipline. For each byte received, an extra byte is used to indicate the error status of that byte. Instead, if the received data is error-free, encode the entire buffer without status bytes. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Remove tty_prepare_flip_string_flags()

2013-12-09T00:57:38Z

There is no in-tree user of tty_prepare_flip_string_flags(); remove. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Enable configurable tty flip buffer limit

2013-12-09T00:57:38Z

Allow driver to configure its maximum flip buffer memory consumption/limit. This is necessary for very-high speed line rates (in excess of 10MB/sec) because the flip buffers can be saturated before the line discipline has a chance to throttle the input.

tty: Fix unsafe vt paste_selection()

2013-07-23T23:47:10Z

Convert the tty_buffer_flush() exclusion mechanism to a public interface - tty_buffer_lock/unlock_exclusive() - and use the interface to safely write the paste selection to the line discipline. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Track flip buffer memory limit atomically

2013-07-23T23:47:08Z

Lockless flip buffers require atomically updating the bytes-in-use watermark. The pty driver also peeks at the watermark value to limit memory consumption to a much lower value than the default; query the watermark with new fn, tty_buffer_space_avail().

tty: Compute flip buffer ptrs

2013-07-23T23:47:07Z

The char_buf_ptr and flag_buf_ptr values are trivially derived from the .data field offset; compute values as needed. Fixes a long-standing type-mismatch with the char and flag ptrs. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: switch tty_schedule_flip

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: switch tty_insert_flip_string

TTY: switch tty_insert_flip_char

2013-01-16T06:21:36Z

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. tty_insert_flip_char is the next one to proceed. This one is used all over the code, so the patch is huge.
