commit 6f6485463aada1ec6a0f3db6a03eb8e393d6bb55 upstream.

Fix race in generic write implementation, which could lead to
temporarily degraded throughput.

The current generic write implementation introduced by commit
27c7acf22047 ("USB: serial: reimplement generic fifo-based writes") has
always had this bug, although it's fairly hard to trigger and the
consequences are not likely to be noticed.

Specifically, a write() on one CPU while the completion handler is
running on another could result in only one of the two write urbs being
utilised to empty the remainder of the write fifo (unless there is a
second write() that doesn't race during that time).

commit 548dd4b6da8a8e428453d55f7fa7b8a46498d147 upstream.

Do not report errors in write path if port is used as a console as this
may trigger the same error (and error report) resulting in a loop.

Alan's commit 335f8514f200e63d689113d29cb7253a5c282967 introduced
.carrier_raised function in several drivers.  That also means
tty_port_block_til_ready can now suspend the process trying to open the serial
port when Carrier Detect is low and put it into tty_port.open_wait queue.  We
need to wake up the process when Carrier Detect goes high and trigger TTY
hangup when CD goes low.

Some of the devices do not report modem status line changes, or at least we
don't understand the status message, so for those we remove .carrier_raised
again.

Since handle_sysrq() does not take tty as argument anymore we can
drop it from usb_serial_handle_sysrq_char() as well.

As David VomLehn points out, it was possible to receive an interrupt
before clearing the free-urb flag which could lead to the urb being
incorrectly marked as busy.

For the same reason, move tx_bytes accounting so that it will never be
negative.

Note that the free-flags set and clear operations do not need any
additional locking as they are manipulated while USB_SERIAL_WRITE_BUSY
is set.

Remove multi-urb write from the generic driver and simplify the
prepare_write_buffer prototype:

	int (*prepare_write_buffer)(struct usb_serial_port *port,
						void *dest, size_t size);

The default implementation simply fills dest with data from port write
fifo but drivers can override it if they need to process the outgoing
data (e.g. add headers).

Turn ftdi_sio into a generic fifo-based driver, which lowers CPU usage
significantly for small writes while retaining maximum throughput.
