2013-02-04tty: Document required behavior of tty driver close()Peter Hurley1-0/+1
If the tty driver open() fails, the tty driver close() is still called during the resultant tty release. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-08-13TTY: move cdev_add to tty_register_deviceJiri Slaby1-1/+1
We need the /dev/ node not to be available before we call tty_register_device. Otherwise we might race with open and tty_struct->port might not be available at that time. This is not an issue now, but would be a problem after "TTY: use tty_port_register_device" is applied.

2012-08-13TTY: add support for unnumbered device nodesJiri Slaby1-0/+6
This allows drivers like ttyprintk to avoid hacks to create an unnumbered node in /dev. It used to set TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV in flags and call device_create on its own. That is incorrect, because TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV may be set only if tty_register_device is called explicitly.

2012-08-13TTY: pty, switch to tty_alloc_driverJiri Slaby1-0/+4
Switch to the new driver allocation interface, as this is one of the special call-sites. Here, we need TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_ALLOC to not allocate tty_driver->ports, cdevs and potentially other structures because we reserve too many lines in pty. Instead, it provides the tty_port<->tty_struct link in tty->ops->install already.

2012-08-10TTY: pass flags to alloc_tty_driverJiri Slaby1-4/+19
We need to allow drivers that use neither tty_port_install nor tty_port_register_device to link a tty_port to a tty somehow. To avoid a race with open, this has to be performed before tty_register_device. But currently tty_driver->ports is allocated even in tty_register_device because we do not know whether this is the PTY driver. The PTY driver is special here due to an excessive count of lines it declares to handle. We cannot handle tty_ports there this way. To circumvent this, we start passing tty_driver flags to alloc_tty_driver already and we create tty_alloc_driver for this purpose. There we can allocate tty_driver->ports and do all the magic between tty_alloc_driver and tty_register_device. Later we will introduce tty_port_link_device function for that purpose. All drivers should eventually switch to this new tty driver allocation interface. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-07-17tty: Move the handling of the tty release logicAlan Cox1-8/+3
Now that we don't have tty->termios tied to drivers->tty we can untangle the logic here. In addition we can push the removal logic out of the destructor path. At that point we can think about sorting out tty_port and console and all the other ugly hangovers.

2012-06-13TTY: add ports array to tty_driverJiri Slaby1-0/+1
It will hold tty_port structures for all drivers which do not want to define tty->ops->install hook. We ignore PTY here because it wants 1 million lines and it installs tty_port in ->install anyway.

2012-03-08TTY: tty_driver, document tty->ops->shutdown limitationJiri Slaby1-0/+2
Note that tty->ops->shutdown is called from whatever context the user drops the last tty reference from. E.g. if one takes a reference in an ISR, tty close happens on other CPU and the final tty put is from the ISR, tty->ops->shutdown will be called from that hard irq context. We would have a problem in vt if we start using tty refcounting from other contexts than user there. It is because vt's shutdown uses mutexes. This is yet to be fixed.

2012-03-08TTY: let alloc_tty_driver deduce the owner automaticallyJiri Slaby1-1/+4
Like the rest of the kernel, make a stub from alloc_tty_driver which calls __alloc_tty_driver with proper owner. This will save us one more assignment on the driver side. Also this fixes some drivers which didn't set the owner. This allowed user to remove the module from the system even though a tty from the driver is still open.

2011-08-23TTY: pty, fix pty countingJiri Slaby1-0/+3
tty_operations->remove is normally called like: queue_release_one_tty ->tty_shutdown ->tty_driver_remove_tty ->tty_operations->remove However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not. pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown. So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in /proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr. I see this was already reported at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370 But it was not fixed since then. This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for user. And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown). While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined, tty_shutdown() is not called. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "H.

We don't actually need this and it causes problems for internal use of this functionality. Currently there is a single use of the FILE * pointer. That is the serial core which uses it to check tty_hung_up_p. However if that is true then IO_ERROR is also already set so the check may be removed.

2009-09-27tty: Fix regressions caused by commit b50989dcDave Young1-2/+11
The following commit made console open fails while booting: commit b50989dc444599c8b21edc23536fc305f4e9b7d5 Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:22 2009 -0700 tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the following will be reported while booting: INIT open /dev/console Input/output error It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229 The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned. Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion: Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO. I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions. tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty onto the waitqueue for destruction tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs. We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0 ... the end) to occur asynchronously The USB update in -next would then need a call like if (tty->cleanup) tty->cleanup(tty); at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep. In other words the logic becomes final kref put make object unfindable async clean it up Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> [ rjw: Rebased on top of 2.6.31-git, reworked the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: "Rafael J.

2009-06-11tty: throttling race fixAlan Cox1-2/+4
The tty throttling code can race due to the lock drops. It takes very high loads but this has been observed and verified by Rob Duncan. The basic problem is that on an SMP box we can go CPU #1 CPU #2 need to throttle ? suppose we should buffer space cleared are we throttled yes ? - unthrottle call throttle method This changeet take the termios lock to protect against this. The termios lock isn't the initial obvious candidate but many implementations of throttle methods already need to poke around their own termios structures (and nobody really locks them against a racing change of flow control). This does mean that anyone who is setting tty->low_latency = 1 and then calling tty_flip_buffer_push from their unthrottle method is going to end up collapsing in a pile of locks. However we've removed all the known bogus users of low_latency = 1 and such use isn't safe anyway for other reasons so catching it would be an improvement.

2008-10-13tty: shutdown methodAlan Cox1-0/+6
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe. Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown method is tied into the refcounting. Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic. Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree free up paths.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios and new frameworkAlan Cox1-6/+6
This is the core of the switch to the new framework. I've split it from the driver patches which are mostly search/replace and would encourage people to give this one a good hard stare. The references to BOTHER and ISHIFT are the termios values that must be defined by a platform once it wants to turn on "new style" ioctl support. The code patches here ensure that providing 1. The termios overlays the ktermios in memory 2. The only new kernel only fields are c_ispeed/c_ospeed (or none) the existing behaviour is retained. This is true for the patches at this point in time. Future patches will define BOTHER, ISHIFT and enable newer termios structures for each architecture, and once they are all done some of the ifdefs also vanish.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike1-1/+2
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.
