TTY: introduce tty_port_destroy

2012-11-16T01:20:58+00:00

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. Those using refcounting are safe now, but for those which do not we introduce a function to be called right before the tty_port is freed by the drivers.

TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port

2012-10-22T23:58:28+00:00

So this is it. The big step why we did all the work over the past kernel releases. Now everything is prepared, so nothing protects us from doing that big step. | | \ \ nnnn/^l | | | | \ / / | | | '-,.__ => \/ ,-` => | '-,.__ | O __.´´) ( .` | O __.´´) ~~~ ~~ `` ~~~ ~~ The buffers are now in the tty_port structure and we can start teaching the buffer helpers (insert char/string, flip etc.) to use tty_port instead of tty_struct all around.

TTY: add port -> tty link

2012-10-22T23:53:40+00:00

For that purpose we have to temporarily introduce a second tty back pointer into tty_port. It is because serial layer, and maybe others, still do not use tty_port_tty_set/get. So that we cannot set the tty_port->tty to NULL at will now. Yes, the fix would be to convert whole serial layer and all its users to tty_port_tty_set/get. However we are in the process of removing the need of tty in most of the call sites, so this would lead to a duplicated work. Instead we have now tty_port->itty (internal tty) which will be used only in flush_to_ldisc. For that one it is ensured that itty is valid wherever the work is run. IOW, the work is synchronously cancelled before we set itty to NULL and also before hangup is processed. After we need only tty_port and not tty_struct in most code, this shall be changed to tty_port_tty_set/get and itty removed completely.

TTY: move TTY_FLUSH* flags to tty_port

2012-10-22T23:53:21+00:00

They are only TTY buffers specific. And the buffers will go to tty_port in the next patches. So to remove the need to have both tty_port and tty_struct at some places, let us move the flags to tty_port. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: move ldisc data from tty_struct: locks

2012-10-22T23:53:01+00:00

atomic_write_lock is not n_tty specific, so move it up in the tty_struct. And since these are the last ones to move, remove also the comment saying there are some ldisc' members. There are none now. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: move ldisc data from tty_struct: read_* and echo_* and canon_* stuff

TTY: move ldisc data from tty_struct: bitmaps

2012-10-22T23:53:00+00:00

Here we move bitmaps and use DECLARE_BITMAP to declare them in the new structure. And instead of memset, we use bitmap_zero as it is more appropriate. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: move ldisc data from tty_struct: simple members

2012-10-22T23:53:00+00:00

Here we start moving all the n_tty related bits from tty_struct to the newly defined n_tty_data struct in n_tty proper. In this patch primitive members and bits are moved. The rest will be done per-partes in the next patches. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: audit, stop accessing tty->icount

2012-10-22T23:50:54+00:00

This is a private member of n_tty. Stop accessing it. Instead, take is as an argument. This is needed to allow clean switch of the private members to a separate private structure of n_tty. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
