tty: some ICANON magic is in the wrong places

2008-10-13T16:51:44+00:00

Move the set up on ldisc change into the ldisc Move the INQ/OUTQ cases into the driver not in shared ioctl code where it gives bogus answers for other ldisc values Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: extract the pty init time special cases

2008-10-13T16:51:43+00:00

The majority of the remaining init_dev code is pty special cases. We refactor this code into the driver->install method. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: Finish fixing up the init_dev interface to use ERR_PTR

2008-10-13T16:51:43+00:00

Original suggestion and proposal from Sukadev Bhattiprolu. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: Remove more special casing and out of place code

2008-10-13T16:51:42+00:00

Carry on pushing code out of tty_io when it belongs to other drivers. I'm not 100% happy with some of this and it will be worth revisiting some of the exports later when the restructuring work is done. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: shutdown method

2008-10-13T16:51:42+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: the vhangup syscall is racy

2008-10-13T16:51:41+00:00

We now have the infrastructure to sort this out but rather than teaching the syscall tty lock rules we move the hard work into a tty helper Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

tty: usb-serial krefs

2008-10-13T16:51:41+00:00

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.

tty: Add termiox

2008-10-13T16:51:40+00:00

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.

tty: Add a kref count

2008-10-13T16:51:40+00:00

Introduce a kref to the tty structure and use it to protect the tty->signal tty references. For now we don't introduce it for anything else. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

pps: Reserve a line discipline number for PPS

2008-10-13T16:51:40+00:00

Add a new line discipline for "pulse per second" devices connected to a serial port. Signed-off-by: Rodolfo Giometti Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
