tty_perform_flush() can deadlock when called while holding
a line discipline reference. By definition, all ldisc drivers
hold a ldisc reference, so calls originating from ldisc drivers
must not block for a ldisc reference.
The deadlock can occur when:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
tty_ldisc_ref(tty) |
.... | <line discipline halted>
tty_ldisc_ref_wait(tty) |
|
CPU 0 cannot progess because it cannot obtain an ldisc reference
with the line discipline has been halted (thus no new references
are granted).
CPU 1 cannot progress because an outstanding ldisc reference
has not been released.
An in-tree call-tree audit of tty_perform_flush() [1] shows 5
ldisc drivers calling tty_perform_flush() indirectly via
n_tty_ioctl_helper() and 2 ldisc drivers calling directly.
A single tty driver safely uses the function.

The warning is there since 2.1.69 and we have not seen anybody reporting it in the past decade. Remove the warning now. tty_get_baud_rate can now be inline. This gives us one less EXPORT_SYMBOL.

The tty driver can become stuck throttled due to race conditions
between throttle and unthrottle, when the decision to throttle
or unthrottle is conditional. The following example helps to
illustrate the race:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
if (condition A) |
| <processing such that A not true>
| if (!condition A)
| unthrottle()
throttle() |
|
Note the converse is also possible; ie.,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
| if (!condition A)
<processing such that A true> |
if (condition A) |
throttle() |
| unthrottle()
|
Add new throttle/unthrottle functions based on the familiar model
of task state and schedule/wake. For example,
while (1) {
tty_set_flow_change(tty, TTY_THROTTLE_SAFE);
if (!condition)
break;
if (!tty_throttle_safe(tty))
break;
}
__tty_set_flow_change(tty, 0);
In this example, if an unthrottle occurs after the condition is
evaluated but before tty_throttle_safe(), then tty_throttle_safe()
will return non-zero, looping and forcing the re-evaluation of
condition.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907
read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out).
A simple test-case from Roman:
// Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process.
// EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set.
void handler(int sig)
{
}
main()
{
struct sigaction act;
act.sa_handler = handler;
act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0);
struct termio ttp;
ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp);
while(1)
{
if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0)
{
if (errno == EINTR)
{
fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1);
}
}
}
}
Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this
particular problem.
I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look
equally wrong.

Regression 'tty: fix "IRQ45: nobody cared"' Regression commit 7b292b4bf9a9d6098440d85616d6ca4c608b8304 Function reset_buffer_flags() also invoked during the ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..). At the time of request we can have full buffers and throttled driver too. If we don't unthrottle driver, we can get forever throttled driver, because, after request, we will have empty buffers and throttled driver and there is no place to unthrottle driver. It simple reproduce with "pty" pair then one side sleep on tty->write_wait, and other side do ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..). Then there is no place to do writers wake up.

This will let us sort out a whole pile of tty related races. The alternative would be to keep points and refcount the termios objects. However 1. They are tiny anyway 2.
