2010-03-02serial: synclink_gt: dropped transmit data bugfixPaul Fulghum
Fix transmit bug that could drop send data if write() called close to serial transmitter going idle after sending previous data. Bug is caused by incorrect use of device information member tx_count. Driver originally processed one data block (write call) at a time, waiting for transmit idle before sending more. tx_count recorded how much data was loaded in DMA buffers on write(), and was cleared on send completion. tx_count use was overloaded to record accumulated data from put_char() callback when transmitter was idle. A bug was introduced when transmit code was reworked to allow multiple blocks of data in the tx DMA buffers which keeps transmitter from going idle between blocks. tx_count was set to size of last block loaded, cleared when tx went idle, and monitored to know when to restart transmitter without proper synchronization. tx_count could be cleared when unsent data remained in DMA buffers and transmitter required restarting, effectively dropping unsent data. Solution: 1. tx_count now used only to track accumulated data from put_char 2. DMA buffer state tracked by direct inspection of descriptors with spinlock synchronization 3. consolidate these tasks in tx_load() : a. check for available buffer space b. load buffers c. restart DMA and or serial transmitter as needed These steps were previously duplicated in multiple places, sometimes incompletely. 4. fix use of tx_count as active transmit indicator, instead using tx_active which is meant for that purpose Signed-off-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Allow guest userspace applications to open, read from, write to, poll the ports via the char dev interface.

The devices created are placed in /dev/vportNpn where N is the virtio-console device number and n is the port number for that device. One dynamic major device number is allocated for each device and minor numbers are allocated for the ports contained within that device.

2010-02-24virtio: console: Add a new MULTIPORT feature, support for generic portsAmit Shah
This commit adds a new feature, MULTIPORT. If the host supports this feature as well, the config space has the number of ports defined for that device. New ports are spawned according to this information. The config space also has the maximum number of ports that can be spawned for a particular device. This is useful in initializing the appropriate number of virtqueues in advance, as ports might be hot-plugged in later. Using this feature, generic ports can be created which are not tied to hvc consoles. We also open up a private channel between the host and the guest via which some "control" messages are exchanged for the ports, like whether the port being spawned is a console port, resizing the console window, etc. Next commits will add support for hotplugging and presenting char devices in /dev/ for bi-directional guest-host communication.

2010-02-07Fix race in tty_fasync() properlyLinus Torvalds
This reverts commit 703625118069 ("tty: fix race in tty_fasync") and commit b04da8bfdfbb ("fnctl: f_modown should call write_lock_irqsave/ restore") that tried to fix up some of the fallout but was incomplete. It turns out that we really cannot hold 'tty->ctrl_lock' over calling __f_setown, because not only did that cause problems with interrupt disables (which the second commit fixed), it also causes a potential ABBA deadlock due to lock ordering. Thanks to Tetsuo Handa for following up on the issue, and running lockdep to show the problem. It goes roughly like this: - f_getown gets filp->f_owner.lock for reading without interrupts disabled, so an interrupt that happens while that lock is held can cause a lockdep chain from f_owner.lock -> sighand->siglock. - at the same time, the tty->ctrl_lock -> f_owner.lock chain that commit 703625118069 introduced, together with the pre-existing sighand->siglock -> tty->ctrl_lock chain means that we have a lock dependency the other way too. So instead of extending tty->ctrl_lock over the whole __f_setown() call, we now just take a reference to the 'pid' structure while holding the lock, and then release it after having done the __f_setown. That still guarantees that 'struct pid' won't go away from under us, which is all we really ever needed.
