[ Upstream commit d72402145ace0697a6a9e8e75a3de5bf3375f78d ]

LKP has hit yet another circular locking dependency between uart
console drivers and debugobjects [1]:

     CPU0                                    CPU1

                                            rhltable_init()
                                             __init_work()
                                              debug_object_init
     uart_shutdown()                          /* db-&gt;lock */
      /* uart_port-&gt;lock */                    debug_print_object()
       free_page()                              printk()
                                                 call_console_drivers()
        debug_check_no_obj_freed()                /* uart_port-&gt;lock */
         /* db-&gt;lock */
          debug_print_object()

So there are two dependency chains:
	uart_port-&gt;lock -&gt; db-&gt;lock
And
	db-&gt;lock -&gt; uart_port-&gt;lock

This particular circular locking dependency can be addressed in several
ways:

a) One way would be to move debug_print_object() out of db-&gt;lock scope
   and, thus, break the db-&gt;lock -&gt; uart_port-&gt;lock chain.
b) Another one would be to free() transmit buffer page out of db-&gt;lock
   in UART code; which is what this patch does.

It makes sense to apply a) and b) independently: there are too many things
going on behind free(), none of which depend on uart_port-&gt;lock.

The patch fixes transmit buffer page free() in uart_shutdown() and,
additionally, in uart_port_startup() (as was suggested by Dmitry Safonov).

[ Upstream commit 646097940ad35aa2c1f2012af932d55976a9f255 ]

When the test 'CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y' is enabled,
arch_initcall(pl011_init) came before subsys_initcall(default_bdi_init).
devtmpfs gets killed because we try to remove a file and decrement the
wb reference count before the noop_backing_device_info gets initialized.

<title>tty: Don't hold ldisc lock in tty_reopen() if ldisc present</title>

commit d3736d82e8169768218ee0ef68718875918091a0 upstream.

Try to get reference for ldisc during tty_reopen().
If ldisc present, we don't need to do tty_ldisc_reinit() and lock the
write side for line discipline semaphore.
Effectively, it optimizes fast-path for tty_reopen(), but more
importantly it won't interrupt ongoing IO on the tty as no ldisc change
is needed.
Fixes user-visible issue when tty_reopen() interrupted login process for
user with a long password, observed and reported by Lukas.

Fixes: c96cf923a98d ("tty: Don't block on IO when ldisc change is pending")
Fixes: 83d817f41070 ("tty: Hold tty_ldisc_lock() during tty_reopen()")

commit d3736d82e8169768218ee0ef68718875918091a0 upstream.

Try to get reference for ldisc during tty_reopen().
If ldisc present, we don't need to do tty_ldisc_reinit() and lock the
write side for line discipline semaphore.
Effectively, it optimizes fast-path for tty_reopen(), but more
importantly it won't interrupt ongoing IO on the tty as no ldisc change
is needed.
Fixes user-visible issue when tty_reopen() interrupted login process for
user with a long password, observed and reported by Lukas.

Fixes: c96cf923a98d ("tty: Don't block on IO when ldisc change is pending")
Fixes: 83d817f41070 ("tty: Hold tty_ldisc_lock() during tty_reopen()")

commit cf62a1a13749db0d32b5cdd800ea91a4087319de upstream.

As notted by Jiri, tty_ldisc_reinit() shouldn't rely on tty counter.
Simplify math by increasing the counter after reinit success.

commit 83d817f41070c48bc3eb7ec18e43000a548fca5c upstream.

tty_ldisc_reinit() doesn't race with neither tty_ldisc_hangup()
nor set_ldisc() nor tty_ldisc_release() as they use tty lock.
But it races with anyone who expects line discipline to be the same
after hoding read semaphore in tty_ldisc_ref().

We've seen the following crash on v4.9.108 stable:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000002260
IP: [..] n_tty_receive_buf_common+0x5f/0x86d
Workqueue: events_unbound flush_to_ldisc
Call Trace:
 [..] n_tty_receive_buf2
 [..] tty_ldisc_receive_buf
 [..] flush_to_ldisc
 [..] process_one_work
 [..] worker_thread
 [..] kthread
 [..] ret_from_fork

tty_ldisc_reinit() should be called with ldisc_sem hold for writing,
which will protect any reader against line discipline changes.

commit 231f8fd0cca078bd4396dd7e380db813ac5736e2 upstream.

ldsem_down_read() will sleep if there is pending writer in the queue.
If the writer times out, readers in the queue should be woken up,
otherwise they may miss a chance to acquire the semaphore until the last
active reader will do ldsem_up_read().

There was a couple of reports where there was one active reader and
other readers soft locked up:
  Showing all locks held in the system:
  2 locks held by khungtaskd/17:
   #0:  (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: watchdog+0x124/0x6d1
   #1:  (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: debug_show_all_locks+0x72/0x2d3
  2 locks held by askfirst/123:
   #0:  (&amp;tty-&gt;ldisc_sem){.+.+.+}, at: ldsem_down_read+0x46/0x58
   #1:  (&amp;ldata-&gt;atomic_read_lock){+.+...}, at: n_tty_read+0x115/0xbe4

Prevent readers wait for active readers to release ldisc semaphore.

The function of_find_node_by_path() acquires a reference to the node
returned by it and that reference needs to be dropped by its caller.

su_get_type() doesn't do that. The match node are used as an identifier
to compare against the current node, so we can directly drop the refcount
after getting the node from the path as it is not used as pointer.

Fix this by use a single variable and drop the refcount right after
of_find_node_by_path().

Commit f6aa5beb45be ("serial: 8250: Fix clearing FIFOs in RS485 mode
again") makes a change to FIFO clearing code which its commit message
suggests was intended to be specific to use with RS485 mode, however:

 1) The change made does not just affect __do_stop_tx_rs485(), it also
    affects other uses of serial8250_clear_fifos() including paths for
    starting up, shutting down or auto-configuring a port regardless of
    whether it's an RS485 port or not.

 2) It makes the assumption that resetting the FIFOs is a no-op when
    FIFOs are disabled, and as such it checks for this case &amp; explicitly
    avoids setting the FIFO reset bits when the FIFO enable bit is
    clear. A reading of the PC16550D manual would suggest that this is
    OK since the FIFO should automatically be reset if it is later
    enabled, but we support many 16550-compatible devices and have never
    required this auto-reset behaviour for at least the whole git era.
    Starting to rely on it now seems risky, offers no benefit, and
    indeed breaks at least the Ingenic JZ4780's UARTs which reads
    garbage when the RX FIFO is enabled if we don't explicitly reset it.

 3) By only resetting the FIFOs if they're enabled, the behaviour of
    serial8250_do_startup() during boot now depends on what the value of
    FCR is before the 8250 driver is probed. This in itself seems
    questionable and leaves us with FCR=0 &amp; no FIFO reset if the UART
    was used by 8250_early, otherwise it depends upon what the
    bootloader left behind.

 4) Although the naming of serial8250_clear_fifos() may be unclear, it
    is clear that callers of it expect that it will disable FIFOs. Both
    serial8250_do_startup() &amp; serial8250_do_shutdown() contain comments
    to that effect, and other callers explicitly re-enable the FIFOs
    after calling serial8250_clear_fifos(). The premise of that patch
    that disabling the FIFOs is incorrect therefore seems wrong.

For these reasons, this reverts commit f6aa5beb45be ("serial: 8250: Fix
clearing FIFOs in RS485 mode again").
