2009-09-27tty: Fix regressions caused by commit b50989dcDave Young
The following commit made console open fails while booting: commit b50989dc444599c8b21edc23536fc305f4e9b7d5 Author: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Date: Sat Sep 19 13:13:22 2009 -0700 tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the following will be reported while booting: INIT open /dev/console Input/output error It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229 The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned. Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion: Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO. I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions. tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty onto the waitqueue for destruction tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs. We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0 ... the end) to occur asynchronously The USB update in -next would then need a call like if (tty->cleanup) tty->cleanup(tty); at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep. In other words the logic becomes final kref put make object unfindable async clean it up Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> [ rjw: Rebased on top of 2.6.31-git, reworked the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: "Rafael J.

2009-09-19Driver-Core: extend devnode callbacks to provide permissionsKay Sievers
This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero, random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

2009-06-16tty: fix sanity checkAlan Cox
The WARN_ON() that was added to tty_reopen can be triggered in the specific case of a hangup occurring during a re-open of a tty which is not in the middle of being otherwise closed. In that case however the WARN() is bogus as we don't hold the neccessary locks to make a correct decision. The case we should be checking is "if the ldisc is not changing and reopen is occuring". We could drop the WARN_ON but for the moment the debug is more valuable even if it means taking a mutex as it will find any other cases.

2009-06-11tty: rewrite the ldisc lockingAlan Cox
There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the code than simply try and patch it up. This patch - splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly later) - introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device - fixes the complete mess that hangup caused - implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems. This fixes the following known bugs - hang up can leak ldisc references - hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way - pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change - reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports. I'm sure it also adds the odd new one. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-04-02pids: kill signal_struct-> __pgrp/__session and friendsOleg Nesterov
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr(). task_session_nr() has no callers since 2e2ba22ea4fd4bb85f0fa37c521066db6775cbef, we can remove it. task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and fs/coda. This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills __pgrp/__session and the related helpers. The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense anyway.

Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL protection, or with no protection at all.

2009-01-27tty_open can return to userspace holding tty_mutexEric Paris
__tty_open could return (to userspace) holding the tty_mutex thanks to a regression introduced by 4a2b5fddd53b80efcb3266ee36e23b8de28e761a ("Move tty lookup/reopen to caller"). This was found by bisecting an fsfuzzer problem. Admittedly I have no idea how it managed to tickle this 100% reliably, but it is clearly a regression and when hit leaves the box in a completely unusable state. This patch lets the fsfuzzer test complete every time.

2009-01-02n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_ttyJoe Peterson
Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C) and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline. Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately written to the tty driver. The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output, since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written. Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks. Highlights are: * Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full - continuous program output can block echo * Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S) - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output) * Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not split up by interleaved program output * Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to the tty driver * Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson <joe@skyrush.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-12-09Audit: Log TIOCSTIAl Viro
AUDIT_TTY records currently log all data read by processes marked for TTY input auditing, even if the data was "pushed back" using the TIOCSTI ioctl, not typed by the user. This patch records all TIOCSTI calls to disambiguate the input. It generates one audit message per character pushed back; considering TIOCSTI is used very rarely, this simple solution is probably good enough. (The only program I could find that uses TIOCSTI is mailx/nail in "header editing" mode, e.g. using the ~h escape. mailx is used very rarely, and the escapes are used even rarer.)

2008-10-13tty: shutdown methodAlan Cox
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe. Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown method is tied into the refcounting. Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic. Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code.
