2009-09-20tty-ldisc: get rid of tty_ldisc_try_get() helper functionLinus Torvalds1-31/+20
Now that the /proc/tty/ldiscs handling doesn't play games with 'struct ldisc' any more, the only remaining user of 'tty_ldisc_try_get()' is 'tty_ldisc_get()' (note the lack of 'try'). And we're actually much better off folding the logic directly into that file, since the 'try' part was always about trying to get the ldisc operations, not the ldisc itself: and making that explicit inside of 'tty_ldisc_get()' clarifies the whole semantics.

2009-09-20tty-ldisc: make /proc/tty/ldiscs use ldisc_ops instead of ldiscsLinus Torvalds1-26/+39
The /proc/tty/ldiscs file is totally and utterly un-interested in the "struct tty_ldisc" structures, and only cares about the underlying ldisc operations. So don't make it create a dummy 'struct ldisc' only to get a pointer to the operations, and then destroy it. Instead, we split up the function 'tty_ldisc_try_get()', and create a 'get_ldops()' helper that just looks up the ldisc operations based on the ldisc number. That makes the code simpler to read (smaller and more well-defined helper functions), and allows the /proc functions to avoid creating that useless dummy only to immediately free it again.

2009-09-19Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissionsKay Sievers5-17/+39
This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero, random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no other userspace process applies the expected permissions. This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-09-18pty_write: don't do a tty_wakeup() when the buffers are fullLinus Torvalds1-2/+4
Commit ac89a9174 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself. That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write. Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push out data to the tty. When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details). End result: one unhappy ppp user. Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much not calling tty_wakeup()).

2009-09-16sparc: Kill PROM console driver.David S. Miller1-3/+0
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500) so there are no excuses. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-09-11agp/intel: Fix the pre-9xx chipset flush.Eric Anholt1-7/+23
Ever since we enabled GEM, the pre-9xx chipsets (particularly 865) have had serious stability issues. Back in May a wbinvd was added to the DRM to work around much of the problem. Some failure remained -- easily visible by dragging a window around on an X -retro desktop, or by looking at bugzilla. The chipset flush was on the right track -- hitting the right amount of memory, and it appears to be the only way to flush on these chipsets, but the flush page was mapped uncached. As a result, the writes trying to clear the writeback cache ended up bypassing the cache, and not flushing anything! The wbinvd would flush out other writeback data and often cause the data we wanted to get flushed, but not always. By removing the setting of the page to UC and instead just clflushing the data we write to try to flush it, we get the desired behavior with no wbinvd. This exports clflush_cache_range(), which was laying around and happened to basically match the code I was otherwise going to copy from the DRM.

2009-09-06pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'Linus Torvalds1-9/+1
The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to worry about, not the pty layer itself. The total buffer space will still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size somehow. And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes as two single-byte writes. And if the first byte written (CR) then caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly failed the write - leading to a lost newline character. This should finally fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14015 Reported-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-09-05n_tty: do O_ONLCR translation as a single writeLinus Torvalds1-2/+1
When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as two tty_put_char() calls. Which works, but is stupid, and has caused problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic. The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example. Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc: "pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic"). So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write instead. That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test, which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering, it won't cause weeks of debugging.

When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits 65b770468e98 and cbe9352fa08f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the 'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work. As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

2009-08-20agp/uninorth: Allow larger aperture sizes on pre-U3 bridges.Michel Dänzer1-8/+8
Using the radeon KMS test functionality, I verified that the AGP bridge of the Intrepid2 chipset in my PowerBook supports aperture sizes up to 256M. So allow aperture sizes up to 256M on pre-U3 bridges as well, and bump the default size to 256M. It's possible that older revisions only support smaller sizes, but it'll be easy to verify that with the raden KMS test functionality. Also, there's only a problem on an actual attempt to access the aperture beyond the maximum size supported by the hardware, and non-KMS X still defaults to using only 32M. Also use ARRAY_SIZE for the aperture size arrays. Signed-off-by: Michel Dänzer <daenzer@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-08-20hvc_console: Drop unnecessary NULL testJulia Lawall1-2/+0
The result of container_of should not be NULL. In particular, in this case the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ identifier fn,work,x,fld; type T; expression E1,E2; statement S; @@ static fn(struct work_struct *work) { ... when != work = E1 x = container_of(work,T,fld) ... when != x = E2 - if (x == NULL) S ... } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-08-11pty: fix data loss when stopped (^S/^Q)Linus Torvalds1-0/+2
Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data properly when the tty is stopped. So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write() routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check 'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written. This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things, but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped' handling.
