[PATCH] uml: console locking fixes
Clean up the console driver locking. There are various problems here, including sleeping under a spinlock and spinlock recursion, some of which are fixed here. This patch deals with the locking involved with opens and closes. The problem is that an mconsole request to change a console's configuration can race with an open. Changing a configuration should only be done when a console isn't opened. Also, an open must be looking at a stable configuration. In addition, a get configuration request must observe the same locking since it must also see a stable configuration. With the old locking, it was possible for this to hang indefinitely in some cases because open would block for a long time waiting for a connection from the host while holding the lock needed by the mconsole request. As explained in the long comment, this is fixed by adding a spinlock for the use count and configuration and a mutex for the actual open and close.

+/* Normally, a driver like this can rely mostly on the tty layer
+ * locking, particularly when it comes to the driver structure.
+ * However, in this case, mconsole requests can come in "from the
+ * side", and race with opens and closes.
+ *
+ * The problem comes from line_setup not wanting to sleep if
+ * the device is open or being opened. This can happen because the
+ * first opener of a device is responsible for setting it up on the
+ * host, and that can sleep. The open of a port device will sleep
+ * until someone telnets to it.
+ *
+ * The obvious solution of putting everything under a mutex fails
+ * because then trying (and failing) to change the configuration of an
+ * open(ing) device will block until the open finishes. The right
+ * thing to happen is for it to fail immediately.
+ *
+ * We can put the opening (and closing) of the host device under a
+ * separate lock, but that has to be taken before the count lock is
+ * released. Otherwise, you open a window in which another open can
+ * come through and assume that the host side is opened and working.
+ *
+ * So, if the tty count is one, open will take the open mutex
+ * inside the count lock. Otherwise, it just returns. This will sleep
+ * if the last close is pending, and will block a setup or get_config,
+ * but that should not last long.
+ *
+ * So, what we end up with is that open and close take the count lock.
+ * If the first open or last close are happening, then the open mutex
+ * is taken inside the count lock and the host opening or closing is done.
+ *
+ * setup and get_config only take the count lock. setup modifies the
+ * device configuration only if the open count is zero. Arbitrarily
+ * long blocking of setup doesn't happen because something would have to be
+ * waiting for an open to happen. However, a second open with
+ * tty->count == 1 can't happen, and a close can't happen until the open
+ * had finished.
+ *
+ * We can't maintain our own count here because the tty layer doesn't
+ * match opens and closes. It will call close if an open failed, and
+ * a tty hangup will result in excess closes. So, we rely on
+ * tty->count instead. It is one on both the first open and last close.
