tty: Remove tty_hung_up_p() tests from tty drivers' open()
Since at least before 2.6.30, it has not been possible to observe
a hung up file pointer in a tty driver's open() method unless/until
the driver open() releases the tty_lock() (eg., before blocking).
This is because tty_open() adds the file pointer while holding
the tty_lock() _and_ doesn't release the lock until after calling
the tty driver's open() method. [ Before tty_lock(), this was
lock_kernel(). ]
Since __tty_hangup() first waits on the tty_lock() before
enumerating and hanging up the open file pointers, either
__tty_hangup() will wait for the tty_lock() or tty_open() will
not yet have added the file pointer. For example,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
tty_open | __tty_hangup
.. | ..
tty_lock | ..
tty_reopen | tty_lock / blocks
.. |
tty_add_file(tty, filp) |
.. |
tty->ops->open(tty, filp) |
tty_port_open |
tty_port_block_til_ready |
.. |
while (1) |
.. |
tty_unlock | / unblocks
schedule | for each filp on tty->tty_files
| f_ops = tty_hung_up_fops;
| ..
| tty_unlock
tty_lock |
.. |
tty_unlock |
Note that since tty_port_block_til_ready() and similar drop
the tty_lock while blocking, when woken, the file pointer
must then be tested for having been hung up.
Also, fix bit-rotted drivers that used extra_count to track the
port->count bump.
