2011-11-17TTY: ldisc, wait for ldisc infinitely in hangupJiri Slaby
For /dev/console case, we do not kill all ldisc users. It's due to redirected_tty_write test in __tty_hangup. In that case there still might be a process waiting e.g. in n_tty_read for input. We wait for such processes to disappear. The problem is that we use a timeout. After this timeout, we continue closing the ldisc and start freeing tty resources. It obviously leads to crashes when the other process is woken. So to fix this, we wait infinitely before reiniting the ldisc. (The tiocsetd remains untouched -- times out after 5s.) This is nicely reproducible with this run from shell: exec 0<>/dev/console 1<>/dev/console 2<>/dev/console and stopping a getty like: systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyS0.service The crash proper may be produced only under load or with constified timing the same as for 92f6fa09b.

2011-11-17TTY: ldisc, move wait idle to callerJiri Slaby
It is the only place where reinit is called from. And we really need to wait for the old ldisc to go once. Actually this is the place where the waiting originally was (before removed and re-added later). This will make the fix in the following patch easier to implement.

2011-11-17TTY: ldisc, allow waiting for ldisc arbitrarily longJiri Slaby
To fix a nasty bug in ldisc hup vs. reinit we need to wait infinitely long for ldisc to be gone. So here we add a parameter to tty_ldisc_wait_idle to allow that. This is only a preparation for the real fix which is done in the following patches.

We used it really only serial and ami_serial. The rest of the callsites were BUG/WARN_ONs to check if BTM is held.

2011-06-07TTY: ldisc, do not close until there are readersJiri Slaby
We restored tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5c (TTY: restore tty_ldisc_wait_idle). We used it in the ldisc changing path to fix the case where there are tasks in n_tty_read waiting for data and somebody tries to change ldisc. Similar to the case above, there may be also tasks waiting in n_tty_read while hangup is performed. As 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into a proper refcount) removed the wait-until-idle from all paths, hangup path won't wait for them to disappear either now. So add it back even to the hangup path. There is a difference, we need uninterruptible sleep as there is obviously HUP signal pending. So tty_ldisc_wait_idle now sleeps without possibility to be interrupted. This is what original tty_ldisc_wait_idle did. After the wait idle reintroduction (100eeae2c5c), we have had interruptible sleeps for the ldisc changing path. But as there is a 5s timeout anyway, we don't allow it to be interrupted from now on. It's not worth the added complexity of deciding what kind of sleep we want. Before 65b770468e98 tty_ldisc_release was called also from tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think we need to restore that one.

2011-04-19TTY: introduce deinit helpers for proper ldisc shutdownJiri Slaby
Introduce deinitialize_tty_struct which should be called after initialize_tty_struct and before successfull tty_ldisc_setup. It calls tty_ldisc_deinit which is opposite of tty_ldisc_init. It only puts a reference to ldisc and assigns NULL to tty->ldisc. It will be used to shut down ldisc when tty_release cannot be called yet.

2011-03-22tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layerLinus Torvalds
Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for the next tick to complete some actions. That's usually not all that noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being totally unacceptable. As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration. Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case down to 0.009s on my machine. In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).

2010-11-09TTY: restore tty_ldisc_wait_idleJiri Slaby
It was removed in 65b770468e98 (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc. Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called, it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of reading and goes nuts after it is woken. Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and allow the close then. We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for everybody to leave. I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless tty_ldisc_wait_idle. On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.
