In preparation for destructing and freeing the tty, the line discipline must first be brought to an inactive state before it can be destructed. This line discipline shutdown must: - disallow new users of the ldisc - wait for existing ldisc users to finish - only then, cancel/flush their pending/running work Factor tty_ldisc_wait_idle() from tty_set_ldisc() and tty_ldisc_kill() to ensure this shutdown order. Failure to provide this guarantee can result in scheduled work running after the tty has already been freed, as indicated in the following log message: [ 88.331234] WARNING: at drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:435 flush_to_ldisc+0x194/0x1d0() [ 88.334505] Hardware name: Bochs [ 88.335618] tty is bad=-1 [ 88.335703] Modules linked in: netconsole configfs bnep rfcomm bluetooth ......

Since the tty->ldisc is prevented from being changed by tty_set_ldisc() when a tty is being hung up, re-testing the ldisc user count is unnecessary -- ie, it cannot be a different ldisc and the user count cannot have increased (assuming the caller meets the precondition that TTY_LDISC flag is cleared) Removal of the 'early-out' locking optimization is necessary for the subsequent patch 'tty: Fix ldisc halt sequence on hangup'.

A buffer flush is both undesirable and unnecessary when the ldisc is closing. A buffer flush performs the following: 1. resets ldisc data fields to their initial state 2. resets tty->receive_room to indicate more data can be sent 3. schedules buffer work to receive more data 4. signals a buffer flush has happened to linked pty in packet mode Since the ldisc has been halted and the tty may soon be destructed, buffer work must not be scheduled as that work might access an invalid tty and ldisc state. Also, the ldisc read buffer is about to be freed, so that's pointless. Resetting the ldisc data fields is pointless as well since that structure is about to be freed. Resetting tty->receive_room is unnecessary, as it will be properly reset if a new ldisc is reopened. Besides, resetting the original receive_room value would be wrong since the read buffer will be gone. Since the packet mode flush is observable from userspace, this behavior has been preserved. The test jig originally authored by Ilya Zykov <ilya@ilyx.ru> and signed off by him is included below. The test jig prompts the following warnings which this patch fixes.

The ifx6x60 driver implements both legacy suspend/resume callbacks and dev_pm_ops. The SPI core is going to ignore legacy suspend/resume callbacks if a driver implements dev_pm_ops. Since the legacy suspend/resume callbacks are empty in this case it is safe to just remove them.

Make sure we do not make tty-driver callbacks or wait for port to drain on uninitialised ports (e.g. when open failed) in tty_port_close_start(). No callback, such as flush_buffer or wait_until_sent, needs to be made on a port that has never been opened. Neither does it make much sense to add drain delay for an uninitialised port. Currently a drain delay of up to two seconds could be added when a tty fails to open. Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Move HUPCL handling to port shutdown so that DTR is dropped also on hang up (tty_port_close is a noop for hung-up ports). Also do not try to drop DTR for uninitialised ports where it has never been raised (e.g. after a failed open). Note that this is also the current behaviour of serial-core. Nine drivers currently call tty_port_close_start directly (rather than through tty_port_close) and seven of them lower DTR as part of their close (if the port has been initialised). Fixup the remaining two drivers so that it continues to be lowered also on normal (non-HUP) close. [ Note that most of those other seven drivers did not expect DTR to have been dropped by tty_port_close_start in the first place. ] Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Concurrent access to tty->pgrp must be protected with tty->ctrl_lock. Also, as noted in the comments, reading current->signal->tty is safe because either, 1) current->signal->tty is assigned by current, or 2) current->signal->tty is set to NULL. NB: for reference, tty_check_change() implements a similar POSIX check for the ioctls corresponding to tcflush(), tcdrain(), tcsetattr(), tcsetpgrp(), tcflow() and tcsendbreak().

As noted in the following comment: /* FIXME: there is a tiny race here if the receive room check runs before the other work executes and empties the buffer (upping the receiving room and unthrottling. We then throttle and get stuck. This has been observed and traced down by Vincent Pillet/ We need to address this when we sort out out the rx path locking */ Use new safe throttle/unthrottle functions to re-evaluate conditions if interrupted by the complement flow control function.

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.
