From 808249ceba49cdb3054c0aa5b75a61862d6cab94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Fulghum Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 03:04:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] new tty buffering locking fix Change locking in the new tty buffering facility from using tty->read_lock, which is currently ignored by drivers and thus ineffective. New locking uses a new tty buffering specific lock enforced centrally in the tty buffering code. Two drivers (esp and cyclades) are updated to use the tty buffering functions instead of accessing tty buffering internals directly. This is required for the new locking to work. Minor checks for NULL buffers added to tty_prepare_flip_string/tty_prepare_flip_string_flags Signed-off-by: Paul Fulghum Cc: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/tty.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/tty.h') diff --git a/include/linux/tty.h b/include/linux/tty.h index 3787102e4b1..a7bd3b4558d 100644 --- a/include/linux/tty.h +++ b/include/linux/tty.h @@ -57,6 +57,7 @@ struct tty_buffer { unsigned char *flag_buf_ptr; int used; int size; + int active; /* Data points here */ unsigned long data[0]; }; @@ -64,6 +65,7 @@ struct tty_buffer { struct tty_bufhead { struct work_struct work; struct semaphore pty_sem; + spinlock_t lock; struct tty_buffer *head; /* Queue head */ struct tty_buffer *tail; /* Active buffer */ struct tty_buffer *free; /* Free queue head */ -- cgit v1.2.3 From 8977d929e49021d9a6e031310aab01fa72f849c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Fulghum Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 01:51:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tty buffering stall fix Prevent stalled processing of received data when a driver allocates tty buffer space but does not immediately follow the allocation with more data and a call to schedule receive tty processing. (example: hvc_console) This bug was introduced by the first locking patch for the new tty buffering.
