Fix init ordering of /dev/console vs callers of modprobe

2010-08-26T23:46:04+00:00

commit 31d1d48e199e99077fb30f6fb9a793be7bec756f upstream. Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to. The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a module. This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel log: request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise). The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because 'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically. Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

tty: n_gsm line discipline

2010-05-21T16:34:29+00:00

Add an implementation of GSM 0710 MUX. The implementation currently supports - Basic and advanced framing (as either end of the link) - UI or UIH data frames - Adaption layer 1-4 (1 and 2 via tty, 3 and 4 as skbuff lists) - Modem and control messages including the correct retry process - Flow control and exposes the MUX channels as a set of virtual tty devices including modem signals. This is an experimental driver. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: TTY: new ldiscs for staging

net-caif-driver: add CAIF serial driver (ldisc)

2010-03-31T02:08:50+00:00

Add CAIF Serial driver. This driver is implemented as a line discipline. caif_serial uses the following module parameters: ser_use_stx - specifies if STart of frame eXtension is in use. ser_loop - sets the interface in loopback mode. Signed-off-by: Sjur Braendeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tty_port,usb-console: Fix usb serial console open/close regression

2010-03-19T14:17:57+00:00

Commit e1108a63e10d344284011cccc06328b2cd3e5da3 ("usb_serial: Use the shutdown() operation") breaks the ability to use a usb console starting in 2.6.33. This was observed when using console=ttyUSB0,115200 as a boot argument with an FTDI device. The error is: ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: ftdi_submit_read_urb - failed submitting read urb, error -22 The handling of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED changed in 2.6.32 such that in tty_port_shutdown() it always clears the flag if it is set. The fix is to add a variable to the tty_port struct to indicate when the tty port is a console.

tty: Take a 256 byte padding into account when buffering below sub-page units

2010-03-19T14:17:53+00:00

The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of "TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find() rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on the size of the tty_buffer. This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc() should not require high-order allocations.

tty: Keep the default buffering to sub-page units

2010-03-02T22:43:23+00:00

We allocate during interrupts so while our buffering is normally diced up small anyway on some hardware at speed we can pressure the VM excessively for page pairs. We don't really need big buffers to be linear so don't try so hard. In order to make this work well we will tidy up excess callers to request_room, which cannot itself enforce this break up.
