They are only TTY buffers specific. And the buffers will go to tty_port in the next patches. So to remove the need to have both tty_port and tty_struct at some places, let us move the flags to tty_port.

* BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty == NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too. * if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have a tty and dereference that. * BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for. * if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be called until the reference is dropped. * if (WARN_ON(!tty->read_buf)) in n_tty_read -- the same as in the previous case.

ldisc->open and close are called only once and cannot cross. So the tests in open and close are superfluous. Remove them. (But leave sets to NULL to ensure there is not a bug somewhere.) And when the tests are gone, handle properly failures in open. We leaked read_buf if allocation of echo_buf failed before. Now this is not the case anymore.

hci_ldisc's open checks if tty_struct->disc_data is set. And if so it returns with an error. But nothing ensures disc_data to be NULL. And since ld->ops->open shall be called only once, we do not need the check at all. So remove it. Note that this is not an issue now, but n_tty will start using the disc_data pointer and this invalid 'if' would trigger then rendering TTYs over BT unusable.

We reintroduced tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2 (TTY: restore tty_ldisc_wait_idle) and used in set_ldisc. Then we added it also to the hangup path in 92f6fa09 (TTY: ldisc, do not close until there are readers). And we noted that there is one more path: ~ Before 65b77046 tty_ldisc_wait_idle was called also from ~ tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think ~ we need to restore that one. Well, I was wrong. There might still be holders of an ldisc reference. Not from userspace, but drivers. If they take a reference and a user closes the device immediately after that, we have a problem. ldisc is halted and closed by TTY, but the driver still may call some ldisc's operation and cause a crash. So restore the tty_ldisc_wait_idle call also to the third location where it was before 65b77046 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into a proper refcount). Now we should be safe with respect to the ldisc reference counting as all* tty_ldisc_close paths are safely called with reference count of one. * Not the one in tty_ldisc_setup's fail path. But that is called before the first open finishes. So userspace does not see it yet. Even thought the driver is given the TTY already via ->install, it should not take a reference to the ldisc yet. If some driver is to do this, we should put one tty_ldisc_wait_idle also in the setup.

There used to be a single tty_ldisc_ref_wait. But then, when a big-tty-mutex (BTM) was introduced, it has to be tty_ldisc_ref + tty_unlock + tty_ldisc_ref_wait + tty_lock. Later, BTM was removed from that path and tty_ldisc_ref + tty_ldisc_ref_wait remained there. But it makes no sense now. So leave there only tty_ldisc_ref_wait. And when we have a reference to an ldisc, actually use it in the loop. Otherwise it may be racy.

Now that we have control over tty->driver_data in pty, we can just kill the /dev/pts/ in pty code too. Namely, in ->shutdown hook of tty. For pty, this is called only once, for whichever end is closed last. But we don't care, both driver_data are the inode as it used to be till now.

The goal is to stop setting and using tty->driver_data in devpts code. It should be used solely by the driver's code, pty in this case. Now driver_data are managed only in the pty driver. devpts_pty_new is switched to accept what we used to dig out of tty_struct, i.e. device node number and index. This also removes a note about driver_data being set outside of the driver.

For the cleanup of layering, we will need the inode created in devpts_pty_new to be stored into slave's driver_data. So we convert devpts_pty_new to return the inode or an ERR_PTR-encoded error in case of failure. The move of 'inode = new_inode(sb);' from declarators to the code is only cosmetical, but it makes the code easier to read.

First, here we remove TTY from devpts_get_tty and rename it to devpts_get_priv. Note we do not remove type safety, we just shift the [implicit] (void *) cast one layer up. index was unused in devpts_get_tty, so remove that from the prototype too.

When low_latency flag is set the TTY receive flip buffer is copied to the line discipline directly instead of using a work queue in the background. Therefor only in case a workqueue is actually used for copying data to the line discipline we'll have to flush the workqueue. This prevents unnecessary spin lock/unlock on the workqueue spin lock that can cause additional scheduling overhead on a PREEMPT_RT system. On a 200 MHz AT91SAM9261 processor setup this fixes about 100us of scheduling overhead on the TTY read call.

Dave Airlie recently discovered a locking bug in the fbcon layer, where a timer_del_sync (for the blinking cursor) deadlocks with the timer itself, since both (want to) hold the console_lock: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/21/36 Unfortunately the console_lock isn't a plain mutex and hence has no lockdep support. Which resulted in a few days wasted of tracking down this bug (complicated by the fact that printk doesn't show anything when the console is locked) instead of noticing the bug much earlier with the lockdep splat. Hence I've figured I need to fix that for the next deadlock involving console_lock - and with kms/drm growing ever more complex locking that'll eventually happen. Now the console_lock has rather funky semantics, so after a quick irc discussion with Thomas Gleixner and Dave Airlie I've quickly ditched the original idead of switching to a real mutex (since it won't work) and instead opted to annotate the console_lock with lockdep information manually. There are a few special cases: - The console_lock state is protected by the console_sem, and usually grabbed/dropped at _lock/_unlock time. But the suspend/resume code drops the semaphore without dropping the console_lock (see suspend_console/resume_console). But since the same thread that did the suspend will do the resume, we don't need to fix up anything. - In the printk code there's a special trylock, only used to kick off the logbuffer printk'ing in console_unlock. But all that happens while lockdep is disable (since printk does a few other evil tricks). So no issue there, either. - The console_lock can also be acquired form irq context (but only with a trylock). lockdep already handles that. This all leaves us with annotating the normal console_lock, _unlock and _trylock functions. And yes, it works - simply unloading a drm kms driver resulted in lockdep complaining about the deadlock in fbcon_deinit: ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.6.0-rc2+ #552 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- kms-reload/3577 is trying to acquire lock: ((&info->queue)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81058c70>] wait_on_work+0x0/0xa7 but task is already holding lock: (console_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81264686>] bind_con_driver+0x38/0x263 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (console_lock){+.+.+.}: [<ffffffff81087440>] lock_acquire+0x95/0x105 [<ffffffff81040190>] console_lock+0x59/0x5b [<ffffffff81209cb6>] fb_flashcursor+0x2e/0x12c [<ffffffff81057c3e>] process_one_work+0x1d9/0x3b4 [<ffffffff810584a2>] worker_thread+0x1a7/0x24b [<ffffffff8105ca29>] kthread+0x7f/0x87 [<ffffffff813b1204>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 -> #0 ((&info->queue)){+.+...}: [<ffffffff81086cb3>] __lock_acquire+0x999/0xcf6 [<ffffffff81087440>] lock_acquire+0x95/0x105 [<ffffffff81058cab>] wait_on_work+0x3b/0xa7 [<ffffffff81058dd6>] __cancel_work_timer+0xbf/0x102 [<ffffffff81058e33>] cancel_work_sync+0xb/0xd [<ffffffff8120a3b3>] fbcon_deinit+0x11c/0x1dc [<ffffffff81264793>] bind_con_driver+0x145/0x263 [<ffffffff81264a45>] unbind_con_driver+0x14f/0x195 [<ffffffff8126540c>] store_bind+0x1ad/0x1c1 [<ffffffff8127cbb7>] dev_attr_store+0x13/0x1f [<ffffffff8116d884>] sysfs_write_file+0xe9/0x121 [<ffffffff811145b2>] vfs_write+0x9b/0xfd [<ffffffff811147b7>] sys_write+0x3e/0x6b [<ffffffff813b0039>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(console_lock); lock((&info->queue)); lock(console_lock); lock((&info->queue)); *** DEADLOCK *** v2: Mark the lockdep_map static, noticed by Jani Nikula.

An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this: ENTRY(func1) mov x0, xzr ENDPROC(func1) // fall through ENTRY(func2) mov x0, #1 ret ENDPROC(func2) Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another architecture doesn't look completely sane either. The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion of proper AArch64 NOPs.

Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp(). This works because at the end of the signature data there is the fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls immediately prior to the magic number. From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module data.

Thierry reported that the "iron out" patch for isolate_freepages_block() had problems due to the strict check being too strict with "mm: compaction: Iron out isolate_freepages_block() and isolate_freepages_range() -fix1". It's possible that more pages than necessary are isolated but the check still fails and I missed that this fix was not picked up before RC1. This same problem has been identified in 3.7-RC1 by Tony Prisk and should be addressed by the following patch.

free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion: free_pid_ns(parent) put_pid_ns(parent) kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns); free_pid_ns thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a panic eventually. This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop. Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.
