Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of tty/serial driver changes for 6.19-rc1. Nothing major at all, just small constant churn to make the tty layer "cleaner" as well as serial driver updates and even a new test added! Included in here are: - More tty/serial cleanups from Jiri - tty tiocsti test added to hopefully ensure we don't regress in this area again - sc16is7xx driver updates - imx serial driver updates - 8250 driver updates - new hardware device ids added - other minor serial/tty driver cleanups and tweaks All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'tty-6.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (60 commits) serial: sh-sci: Fix deadlock during RSCI FIFO overrun error dt-bindings: serial: rsci: Drop "uart-has-rtscts: false" LoongArch: dts: Add uart new compatible string serial: 8250: Add Loongson uart driver support dt-bindings: serial: 8250: Add Loongson uart compatible serial: 8250: add driver for KEBA UART serial: Keep rs485 settings for devices without firmware node serial: qcom-geni: Enable Serial on SA8255p Qualcomm platforms serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for serial driver serial: sprd: Return -EPROBE_DEFER when uart clock is not ready tty: serial: samsung: Declare earlycon for Exynos850 serial: icom: Convert PCIBIOS_* return codes to errnos serial: 8250-of: Fix style issues in 8250_of.c serial: add support of CPCI cards serial: mux: Fix kernel doc for mux_poll() tty: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq serial: 8250_platform: simplify IRQF_SHARED handling serial: 8250: make share_irqs local to 8250_platform serial: 8250: move skip_txen_test to core serial: drop SERIAL_8250_DEPRECATED_OPTIONS ...

tty: pty: use guard()s

2025-11-21T17:30:39+00:00

Use guards in the pty code. This improves readability, makes error handling easier, and marks locked portions of code explicit. All that while being sure the lock is unlocked. pty_set_pktmode() is handled specially -- the conditions are inverted and return called if conditions unmet. This avoid double nested 'if's. The variable is renamed to want_pktmode so it is not confused with the current state of pktmode.

fsnotify: use accessor to set FMODE_NONOTIFY_*

2025-02-07T09:27:26+00:00

The FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits are a 2-bits mode. Open coding manipulation of those bits is risky. Use an accessor file_set_fsnotify_mode() to set the mode. Rename file_set_fsnotify_mode() => file_set_fsnotify_mode_from_watchers() to make way for the simple accessor name.

tty: make tty_class a static const structure

2023-04-03T19:43:07+00:00

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, move the tty_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.

tty: use new tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() in pty_write()

2022-07-08T13:16:28+00:00

There is a race in pty_write(). pty_write() can be called in parallel with e.g. ioctl(TIOCSTI) or ioctl(TCXONC) which also inserts chars to the buffer. Provided, tty_flip_buffer_push() in pty_write() is called outside the lock, it can commit inconsistent tail. This can lead to out of bounds writes and other issues. See the Link below. To fix this, we have to introduce a new helper called tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer(). It does both tty_insert_flip_string() and tty_flip_buffer_commit() under the port lock. It also calls queue_work(), but outside the lock. See 71a174b39f10 (pty: do tty_flip_buffer_push without port->lock in pty_write) for the reasons. Keep the helper internal-only (in drivers' tty.h). It is not intended to be used widely.
