linux.git/drivers/tty/ipwireless, branch v3.7

Merge branch 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

2012-10-02T16:54:49+00:00

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

tty: ipwireless: check ppp register worked

Otherwise we start trying to use a bogus channel - ungood.

workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()

2012-08-20T21:51:24+00:00

flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious.  Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

TTY: use tty_port_register_device

2012-08-13T23:50:19+00:00

Currently we have no way to assign tty->port while performing tty
installation. There are two ways to provide the link tty_struct =>
tty_port. Either by calling tty_port_install from tty->ops->install or
tty_port_register_device called instead of tty_register_device when
the device is being set up after connected.

In this patch we modify most of the drivers to do the latter. When the
drivers use tty_register_device and we have tty_port already, we
switch to tty_port_register_device. So we have the tty_struct =>
tty_port link for free for those.

TTY: ipwireless, use tty from tty_port

2012-04-09T18:30:39+00:00

It does not make the driver less racy though. Close and hangup should
be rewritten and tty refcounting used properly.

TTY: ipwireless, use synchronous hangup

2012-04-09T18:30:39+00:00

Do not touch internal workqueue. Call tty_vhangup instead.

Note that finished hangup does not necessarily mean that all processes
are dead. Especially when the tty is a console. The code assumes that
right now.

TTY: ipwireless, fix tty->index handling

2012-03-08T19:42:21+00:00

* do not test if tty->index is in bounds. It is always.
* tty->index is not a minor! Fix that.

>From now on, let's assume that the parameter of the function is tty
index with base being zero. This makes also the code more readable.

Factually, there is no real change as tty_driver->minor_start is zero,
so the tests are equivalent. But it did not make sense. And if this
had changed eventually, it would have caused troubles.
