2008-10-13tty: shutdown methodAlan Cox
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.

2008-10-13vt: remove bogus lock droppingAlan Cox
For hysterical raisins the vt layer drops and retakes locks in the write method. This is a left over from the days when user/kernel data was passed directly to the tty not pre-buffered. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-13pty: If the administrator creates a device for a ptmx slave we should not errorAlan Cox
The open path for ptmx slaves is via the ptmx device. Opening them any other way is not allowed. Vegard Nossum found that previously this was not the case and mknod foo c 128 42; cat foo would produce nasty diagnostics Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-13tty: Redo current tty lockingAlan Cox
Currently it is sometimes locked by the tty mutex and sometimes by the sighand lock. The latter is in fact correct and now we can hand back referenced objects we can fix this up without problems around sleeping functions.

2008-10-13stallion: Use krefsAlan Cox
Use tty_port_init and krefs in the stallion drivers to protect us from devices going away underneath us. As with the other drives some rearranging is done to pass the tty structure down properly on the user side.

2008-10-13tty: kref usage for isicom and moxaAlan Cox
Rather than blindly keep taking krefs we reorder the code in a few places to pass the tty down to the right place (which is important as from the user side it is not the case that tty == port->tty in all situations). For the irq and related paths use the krefs to stop the tty being freed under us. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-13tty: usb-serial krefsAlan Cox
Use kref in the USB serial drivers so that we don't free tty structures from under the URB receive handlers as has historically been the case if you were unlucky. This also gives us a framework for general tty drivers to use tty_port objects and refcount. Contains two err->dev_err changes merged together to fix clashes in the -next tree.

2008-10-13tty: Make get_current_tty use a krefAlan Cox
We now return a kref covered tty reference. That ensures the tty structure doesn't go away when you have a return from get_current_tty. This is not enough to protect you from most of the resources being freed behind your back - yet.

2008-10-13tty: compare the tty winsizeAlan Cox

2008-10-13tty: Add termioxAlan Cox
We need a way to describe the various additional modes and flow control features that random weird hardware shows up and software such as wine wants to emulate as Windows supports them. TCGETX/TCSETX and the termiox ioctl are a SYS5 extension that we might as well adopt. This patches adds the structures and the basic ioctl interfaces when the TCGETX etc defines are added for an architecture. Drivers wishing to use this stuff need to add new methods.

2008-10-13tty: ipw need reworkingAlan Cox
This came in via another tree and unfortunately is rather broken on the tty side. Comment the apparent locking problems for someone who knows the driver to look at. Fix the termios and other ioctl handling. The driver was calling the wrong methods for what it wanted to do but the right ones existed so its a simple fix up.

2008-10-13tty: use krefs to protect driver module countsAlan Cox
The tty layer keeps driver module counts that are used so the driver knows when it can be unloaded. For obvious reasons we want to tie that to the refcounting properly. At this point the driver side itself isn't refcounted nicely but we can do that later and kref the drivers.

2008-10-13tty: move tioclinux from a special caseAlan Cox

2008-10-13audit: Handle embedded NUL in TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac
Data read from a TTY can contain an embedded NUL byte (e.g. after pressing Ctrl-2, or sent to a PTY). After the previous patch, the data would be logged only up to the first NUL. This patch modifies the AUDIT_TTY record to always use the hexadecimal format, which does not terminate at the first NUL byte. The vast majority of recorded TTY input data will contain either ' ' or '\n', so the hexadecimal format would have been used anyway.

2008-10-13ip2: avoid add_timer with pending timerAkinobu Mita
add_timer() is not supposed to be called when the timer is pending. ip2 driver attempts to avoid that condition by setting and resetting a flag (TimerOn) in timer function. But there is some gap between add_timer() and setting TimerOn. This patch fix this problem by using mod_timer() and remove TimerOn which has been unnecessary by this change.

2008-10-13drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driverJulia Lawall
The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong argument. The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores the result in drv. Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to stop_thread. At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it seems that hvc_driver would be NULL. Thus the current call to put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed. The goto stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free its argument, so it should be done here. Thus, I have moved the put_tty label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both cases. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E,f; position p1,p2,p3; identifier l; statement S; @@ x = alloc_tty_driver@p1(...) ... if (x == NULL) S ... when != E = x when != put_tty_driver(x) goto@p2 l; ... when != E = x when != f(...,x,...) when any ( return \(0\|x\); | return@p3 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; p3 << r.p3; @@ print "%s: call on line %s not freed or saved before return on line %s via line %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p3[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.

However, convert them for consistency. * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing genhd->minors. * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor space. * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).
