tty: Fix race in the flush for some ldiscs

2009-01-15T20:48:35+00:00

If you issue an ioctl to flush a tty as the line discipline is changing or
otherwise unplugged you can get a crash. The bug is very old but the rest
of the BKL lock dropping and some very "good" luck on Ingo's part caught
an example.

Use the correct ldisc_ref form so that we wait for the ldisc change to
complete and then flush

tty: some ICANON magic is in the wrong places

2008-10-13T16:51:44+00:00

Move the set up on ldisc change into the ldisc
Move the INQ/OUTQ cases into the driver not in shared ioctl code where it
gives bogus answers for other ldisc values

tty: Remove more special casing and out of place code

2008-10-13T16:51:42+00:00

Carry on pushing code out of tty_io when it belongs to other drivers. I'm
not 100% happy with some of this and it will be worth revisiting some of the
exports later when the restructuring work is done.

tty: Termios locking - sort out real_tty confusions and lock reads

2008-10-13T16:51:41+00:00

This moves us towards sanity and should mean our termios locking is now
complete and comprehensive.

tty: Add termiox

2008-10-13T16:51:40+00:00

We need a way to describe the various additional modes and flow control
features that random weird hardware shows up and software such as wine
wants to emulate as Windows supports them.

TCGETX/TCSETX and the termiox ioctl are a SYS5 extension that we might as
well adopt. This patches adds the structures and the basic ioctl interfaces
when the TCGETX etc defines are added for an architecture. Drivers wishing
to use this stuff need to add new methods.

tty: TIOCGSOFTCAR/SSOFTCAR on pty is wron

2008-08-27T21:37:09+00:00

The termios settings ioctls on a pty should affect the bound tty side not
the pty. The SOFTCAR ioctls use the wrong device file.

tty: Ldisc revamp

2008-07-21T00:12:34+00:00

Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.

Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

removed unused var real_tty on n_tty_ioctl()

2008-06-23T17:36:47+00:00

I noted that the 'struct tty_struct *real_tty' is not used in this
function, so I removed the code about 'real_tty'.

tty: add throttle/unthrottle helpers

Something Arjan suggested which allows us to clean up the code nicely

tty: The big operations rework

2008-04-30T15:29:47+00:00

- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present
