2012-08-14TTY: con3215, unset raw3215[line]Jiri Slaby1-0/+7
raw3215[line] is set in probe, but not unset in remove. This will lead to random crashes if the device is removed and the corresponding tty opened later. open would dereference freed memory.

2012-04-09TTY: con3215, centralize allocationJiri Slaby1-35/+39
There are two copies of allocations of device information. One of them is totally broken. See: raw->cdev = cdev; raw->inbuf = (char *) raw + sizeof(struct raw3215_info); memset(raw, 0, sizeof(struct raw3215_info)); It suggests that this path was never executed. The code uses both raw->cdev and raw->inbuf all over. And it is NULL due to the memset here, so it would panic immediately. I believe nobody used that driver without being a system console. Either way, let us fix it by moving the allocations (and initializations) to a single place. This will save us some double initializations later too. And while at it, initialize the timer properly -- once, at the allocation.

2012-03-08TTY: remove unneeded tty->index checksJiri Slaby1-6/+2
Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it can be only in interval <0,driver->num).

2009-06-16[S390] pm: con3215 power management callbacksMartin Schwidefsky1-85/+120
Introduce the power management callbacks to the 3215 console. On suspend the console buffer is flushed to the 3215 device to have an empty console buffer. Printks done while the 3215 device is suspended are buffered in the 64K buffer of the 3215 device. If the buffer is full new messages will push out the oldest messages to make room for the most recent message. On resume the buffered messages are printed. If the system panics before the 3215 device is resumed ccw_device_force_console is used to get the console working again. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The 3215 console irq handler used to schedule a tasklet. However the console irq handler also gets called from the infamous cio_tpi() function. Which in turn does something like local_bh_disable() [call console irq handler] _local_bh_enable() _local_bh_enable() prevents execution of softirqs, which is intended within cio_tpi(). However there might be a new softirq pending because irq handler scheduled a tasklet. In order to prevent this behaviour we just get rid of the tasklet. It's not doing much anyway.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike1-1/+1
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-01-10[PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox1-17/+8
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out. This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the kernel cycles between them as before. When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means that we can operate at higher speeds reliably. For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud). Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow. The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is read. We thus make it a variable not a function call. I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes. Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any more. Description: tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It does now also return the number of chars inserted There are also tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len) which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to transfer. and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len) to insert a string of characters and flags For a smart interface the usual code is len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says); tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len); More description! At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments) I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O" devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of data suddenely materialise and need storing. So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API but others need more. At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will be needed now is a good time to say int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size) Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change. Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a more efficient way when you know block sizes. int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag) As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0 for failure. int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len) Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted. int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len) Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
