| * Fix OpenSSH pty regression on closeBrian Bloniarz2016-05-011-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenSSH expects the (non-blocking) read() of pty master to return EAGAIN only if it has received all of the slave-side output after it has received SIGCHLD. This used to work on pre-3.12 kernels. This fix effectively forces non-blocking read() and poll() to block for parallel i/o to complete for all ttys. It also unwinds these changes: 1) f8747d4a466ab2cafe56112c51b3379f9fdb7a12 tty: Fix pty master read() after slave closes 2) 52bce7f8d4fc633c9a9d0646eef58ba6ae9a3b73 pty, n_tty: Simplify input processing on final close 3) 1a48632ffed61352a7810ce089dc5a8bcd505a60 pty: Fix input race when closing Inspired by analysis and patch from Marc Aurele La France <tsi@tuyoix.net> Reported-by: Volth <openssh@volth.com> Reported-by: Marc Aurele La France <tsi@tuyoix.net> BugLink: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52 BugLink: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2492 Signed-off-by: Brian Bloniarz <brian.bloniarz@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of commit ebd2c8f6d2ec4012 ("serial: kill off uart_info"), the circular transmission buffer is part of struct uart_state instead of struct uart_info.

* tty: Remove chars_in_buffer() line discipline methodPeter Hurley2016-01-271-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The chars_in_buffer() line discipline method serves no functional purpose, other than as a (dubious) debugging aid for mostly bit-rotting drivers. Despite being documented as an optional method, every caller is unconditionally executed (although conditionally compiled). Furthermore, direct tty->ldisc access without an ldisc ref is unsafe. Lastly, N_TTY's chars_in_buffer() has warned of removal since 3.12. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

* pty: Fix input race when closingPeter Hurley2015-05-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO) after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read. For example, pty slave | input worker | pty master | | | | n_tty_read() pty_write() | | input avail? no add data | | sleep schedule worker --->| | . |---> flush_to_ldisc() | . pty_close() | fill read buffer | . wait for worker | wakeup reader --->| . | read buffer full? |---> input avail ? yes |<--- yes - exit worker | copy 4096 bytes to user TTY_OTHER_CLOSED <---| |<--- kick worker | | **** New read() before worker starts **** | | n_tty_read() | | input avail? no | | TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes | | return -EIO Several conditions are required to trigger this race: 1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits 2. the read() count parameter must be >= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer is empty 3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed more input However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end are visible to the pty master end immediately. Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader. 1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when TTY_OTHER_DONE is set. 2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. 3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to exit). Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

* serial: Fix locking for uart driver set_termios() methodPeter Hurley2014-11-051-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The low-level uart driver may modify termios settings to override settings that are not compatible with the uart, such as CRTSCTS. Thus, callers of the low-level uart driver's set_termios() method must hold termios_rwsem write lock to prevent concurrent access to termios, in case such override occurs. The termios_rwsem lock requirement does not extend to console setup (ie., uart_set_options), as console setup cannot race with tty operations. Nor does this lock requirement extend to functions which cannot be concurrent with tty ioctls (ie., uart_port_startup() and uart_resume_port()). Further, always claim the port mutex to protect hardware re-reprogramming in the set_termios() uart driver method. Note this is unnecessary for console initialization in uart_set_options() which cannot be concurrent with other uart operations.

* serial: core: delete .set_wake() callbackLinus Walleij2013-10-161-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This deletes the .set_wake() callback in the struct uart_ops. Apparently this has been unused since pre-git times. In the old-2.6-bkcvs it is deleted as part of a changeset removing the PM_SET_WAKEUP from pm_request_t which is since also deleted from the kernel. The apropriate way to set wakeups in the kernel is to have a code snippet like this in .suspend() or .runtime_suspend() callbacks: static int foo_suspend(struct device *dev) { if (device_may_wakeup(dev)) { /* Enable wakeups, set internal states */ } } This specific callback is not coming back.

* RS485: fix inconsistencies in the meaning of some variablesClaudio Scordino2011-11-151-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The crisv10.c and the atmel_serial.c serial drivers intepret the fields of the serial_rs485 structure in a different way. In particular, crisv10.c uses SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND for the voltage of the RTS pin; atmel_serial.c, instead, uses these values to know if a delay must be set before and after sending. This patch makes the usage of these variables consistent across all drivers and fixes the Documentation as well. From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be used to set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the delay will be understood by looking only at the value of delay_rts_before_send and delay_rts_after_send.
