Do not follow a NULL pointer if the tty_port_client_operations does not
implement the -&gt;lookahead_buf() callback, which is the case with
serdev's ttyport.

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.0-rc1.

  It was delayed from last week as I wanted to make sure the last commit
  here got some good testing in linux-next and elsewhere as it seemed to
  show up only late in testing for some reason.

  Nothing major here, just lots of cleanups from Jiri and Ilpo to make
  the tty core cleaner (Jiri) and the rs485 code simpler to use (Ilpo).

  Also included in here is the obligatory n_gsm updates from Daniel
  Starke and lots of tiny driver updates and minor fixes and tweaks for
  other smaller serial drivers.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

<title>tty: use new tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer() in pty_write()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a501ab75e7624d133a5a3c7ec010687c8b961d23</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;lock in
pty_write) for the reasons.

Keep the helper internal-only (in drivers' tty.h). It is not intended to
be used widely.

<title>tty: Implement lookahead to process XON/XOFF timely</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6bb6fa6908ebd3cb4e14cd4f0ce272ec885d2eb0</id>
<content type='text'>
When tty is not read from, XON/XOFF may get stuck into an
intermediate buffer. As those characters are there to do software
flow-control, it is not very useful. In the case where neither end
reads from ttys, the receiving ends might not be able receive the
XOFF characters and just keep sending more data to the opposite
direction. This problem is almost guaranteed to occur with DMA
which sends data in large chunks.

If TTY is slow to process characters, that is, eats less than given
amount in receive_buf, invoke lookahead for the rest of the chars
to process potential XON/XOFF characters.

We need to keep track of how many characters have been processed by the
lookahead to avoid processing the flow control char again on the normal
path. Bookkeeping occurs parallel on two layers (tty_buffer and n_tty)
to avoid passing the lookahead_count through the whole call chain.

When a flow-control char is processed, two things must occur:
  a) it must not be treated as normal char
  b) if not yet processed, flow-control actions need to be taken
The return value of n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl() tells caller a), and
b) is kept internal to n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl().

If characters were previous looked ahead, __receive_buf() makes two
calls to the appropriate n_tty_receive_buf_* function. First call is
made with lookahead_done=true for the characters that were subject to
lookahead earlier and then with lookahead=false for the new characters.
Either of the calls might be skipped when it has no characters to
handle.

<title>tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port-&gt;lock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6b9dbedbe3499fef862c4dff5217cf91f34e43b3</id>
<content type='text'>
pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print
failure message.  This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by
syz-bot below:

       CPU0              CPU1                    CPU2
       ----              ----                    ----
                         lock(console_owner);
                                                 lock(&amp;port_lock_key);
  lock(&amp;port-&gt;lock);
                         lock(&amp;port_lock_key);
                                                 lock(&amp;port-&gt;lock);
  lock(console_owner);

As commit dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to
load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by
using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section
guarded by the port-&gt;lock).  But there are too many printk() on the
kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing
printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant.

Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so
that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be
avoided.

Syzbot reported the following lockdep error:

Kernel-doc is a bit strict about some formatting. So fix these:
1) When there is a tab in comments, it thinks the line is a continuation
   one. So the description of the functions end up as descriptions of
   the last parameter described. Remove the tabs.

2) Remove newlines before parameters description and after the comments.
   This was not wrong per se, only inconsistent with the rest of the
   file.

3) Add periods to the end of sentences where appropriate.

4) Add "()" to function names and "%" to constants, so that they are
   properly highlighted.

<content type='text'>
Since commit a9c3f68f3cd8d (tty: Fix low_latency BUG) in 2014,
tty_flip_buffer_push() is only a wrapper to tty_schedule_flip(). All
users were converted in the previous patches, so remove
tty_schedule_flip() completely while inlining its body into
tty_flip_buffer_push().

One less exported function.

When running ltp testcase(ltp/testcases/kernel/pty/pty04.c) with arm64, there is a soft lockup,
which look like this one:

  Workqueue: events_unbound flush_to_ldisc
  Call trace:
   dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1ec
   show_stack+0x24/0x30
   dump_stack+0xd0/0x128

   tty_ldisc_receive_buf+0x64/0x80
   tty_port_default_receive_buf+0x50/0x90
   flush_to_ldisc+0xbc/0x110
   process_one_work+0x1d4/0x4b0
   worker_thread+0x180/0x430
   kthread+0x11c/0x120

In the testcase pty04, The first process call the write syscall to send
data to the pty master. At the same time, the workqueue will do the
flush_to_ldisc to pop data in a loop until there is no more data left.
When the sender and workqueue running in different core, the sender sends
data fastly in full time which will result in workqueue doing work in loop
for a long time and occuring softlockup in flush_to_ldisc with kernel
configured without preempt. So I add need_resched check and cond_resched
in the flush_to_ldisc loop to avoid it.

Fixes the following W=1 kernel build warning(s):

 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:259: warning: expecting prototype for tty_buffer_request_room(). Prototype was for __tty_buffer_request_room() instead
