This reverts commit 33d4ae98859873ddd49e22e4ca724387548b3d89.

	devices.

	Further analysis with Corey Minyard points to a problem where a slave tty will
	not get a SIGHUP when the master is closed.

So revert this for now:

Remove the tty_vhangup() from the pty code and just release the
redirect.  The tty_vhangup() results in data loss and data out of order
issues.

If you write to a pty master an immediately close the pty master, the
receiver might get a chunk of data dropped, but then receive some later
data.  That's obviously something rather unexpected for a user.  It
certainly confused my test program.

It turns out that tty_vhangup() on the slave pty gets called from
pty_close(), and that causes the data on the slave side to be flushed,
but due to races more data can be copied into the slave side's buffer
after that.  Consider the following sequence:

thread1          thread2         thread3
-------          -------         -------
 |                |-write data into buffer,
 |                | n_tty buffer is filled
 |                | along with other buffers
 |                |-pty_close(master)
 |                |--tty_vhangup(slave)
 |                |---tty_ldisc_hangup()
 |                |----n_tty_flush_buffer()
 |                |-----reset_buffer_flags()
 |-n_tty_read()   |
 |--up_read(&amp;tty-&gt;termios_rwsem);
 |                |------down_read(&amp;tty-&gt;termios_rwsem)
 |                |------clear n_tty buffer contents
 |                |------up_read(&amp;tty-&gt;termios_rwsem)
 |--tty_buffer_flush_work()       |
 |--schedules work calling        |
 |  flush_to_ldisc()              |
 |                                |-flush_to_ldisc()
 |                                |--receive_buf()
 |                                |---tty_port_default_receive_buf()
 |                                |----tty_ldisc_receive_buf()
 |                                |-----n_tty_receive_buf2()
 |                                |------n_tty_receive_buf_common()
 |                                |-------down_read(&amp;tty-&gt;termios_rwsem)
 |                                |-------__receive_buf()
 |                                |       copies data into n_tty buffer
 |                                |-------up_read(&amp;tty-&gt;termios_rwsem)
 |--down_read(&amp;tty-&gt;termios_rwsem)
 |--copy buffer data to user

&gt;From this sequence, you can see that thread2 writes to the buffer then
only clears the part of the buffer in n_tty.  The n_tty receive buffer
code then copies more data into the n_tty buffer.

But part of the vhangup, releasing the redirect, is still required to
avoid issues with consoles running on pty slaves.  So do that.
As far as I can tell, that is all that should be required.

tty-&gt;ops-&gt;close is always called with a valid tty, so the BUG_ON cannot
trigger.

It looks like the commit was aimed to protect tty_insert_flip_string and
there is no need for tty_flip_buffer_push to be under this lock.

With W=1, the kernel-doc checker complains quite a lot in the tty layer.
Over the time, many documented parameters were renamed, removed or
switched from tty to tty_port and similar. Some were mistyped in the doc
too.

So fix all these in the tty core. (But do not add the missing ones which
the checker complains about too. Not now.) The rest in the tty layer
will follow in the next patches.

Unlike normal serials, in pty layer, there is no guarantee that multiple
threads don't insert input characters at the same time. If it is happened,
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag can be executed concurrently. This can
lead slab out-of-bounds write in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag.

Call sequences are as follows.
CPU0                                    CPU1
n_tty_ioctl_helper                      n_tty_ioctl_helper
__start_tty                             tty_send_xchar
tty_wakeup                              pty_write
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup                       tty_insert_flip_string
n_hdlc_send_frames                      tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
pty_write
tty_insert_flip_string
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag

To fix the race, acquire port-&gt;lock in pty_write() before it inserts input
characters to tty buffer. It prevents multiple threads from inserting
input characters concurrently.

The crash log is as follows:

lead slab out-of-bounds write in tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag.

Call sequences are as follows.
CPU0                                    CPU1
n_tty_ioctl_helper                      n_tty_ioctl_helper
__start_tty                             tty_send_xchar
tty_wakeup                              pty_write
n_hdlc_tty_wakeup                       tty_insert_flip_string
n_hdlc_send_frames                      tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag
pty_write
tty_insert_flip_string
tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag

To fix the race, acquire port-&gt;lock in pty_write() before it inserts input
characters to tty buffer. It prevents multiple threads from inserting
input characters concurrently.

The crash log is as follows:

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.
