2010-10-05drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutexArnd Bergmann24-131/+147
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. These drivers do not seem to be under active maintainance from my brief investigation.

2010-09-03tty: fix tty_line must not be equal to number of allocated tty pointers in tty driverNathael Pajani1-1/+1
I found a bug "by chance" in drivers/char/tty_io.c I mean "by chance" because I was just reading the code of the tty_find_polling_driver() to make a new tty_find_by_name() function. In tty_find_polling_driver() the driver actually test "tty_line <= p->num" while num refers to the number of struct tty_struct pointers allocated for the p->ttys (p is a tty_driver), and tty_line is scanned in a tty name, which can be for example ttyS2. Then tty_line equals 2. And if p->num is 2, we have only p->ttys[0] and p->ttys[1], but no p->ttys[2]. This is actually unharmful, for tty_find_polling_driver() is used only in drivers/serial/kgdboc.c, and there's a test over there to find a console with a matching index, which will never happen. This is still a bug anyway. Signed-off-by: Nathael Pajani <nathael.pajani@ed3l.fr> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2010-09-03vt: Fix console corruption on driver hand-over.Francisco Jerez1-11/+4
After 02f0777a0d6560eb995aade34a1b82f95c0452da "vc_origin" is no longer reset to the screen buffer before calling the con_init() hook of the new console driver. If the old driver wasn't using a fixed scanout buffer (e.g. the case of vgacon) "vc_origin" may be a pointer to a VRAM location, and its contents aren't guaranteed to be preserved after calling con_deinit() on the old driver and con_init() on the new driver, i.e. the subsequent console resize may fill the framebuffer with garbage. It can be reproduced in the transition from vgacon to the nouveau framebuffer driver: in that case the legacy VGA aperture "vc_origin" points to becomes unreadable after fbcon_init(). This patch reverts the mentioned commit. To avoid the problem it intended to fix, stop using "vc_scr_end" in vc_do_resize() to calculate how many rows we have to copy (actually the code looks simpler this way without the help of "vc_scr_end").

2010-08-28Input: use PIT_TICK_RATE in vt beep ioctlArnd Bergmann1-8/+8
The KIOCSOUND and KDMKTONE ioctls are based on the CLOCK_TICK_RATE, which is architecture and sometimes configuration specific. In practice, most user applications assume that it is actually defined as the i8253 PIT base clock of 1193182 Hz, which is true on some architectures but not on others. This patch makes the vt code use the PIT frequency on all architectures, which is much more well-defined. It will change the behavior of user applications sending the beep ioctl on all architectures that define CLOCK_TICK_RATE different from PIT_TICK_RATE. The original breakage was introduced in commit bcc8ca099 "Adapt drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c to non-x86". Hopefully, reverting this change will make the frequency correct in more cases than it will make it incorrect.

2010-08-18tty: fix fu_list abuseNick Piggin2-35/+55
tty: fix fu_list abuse tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling. If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose). This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean". Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug. The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors. This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers. [ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether that will ever be worth implementing. ] Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2010-08-11kfifo: fix kfifo miss use of nozami.cStefani Seibold1-2/+1
There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a lot of overhead. So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++. This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way. There are a lot of benefits: - Compile time handling of the different fifo types - Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate 9 assembly instructions on a x86) - Type save - Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone - Easier to use - Less error prone - Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or any other type. See below for an example. - Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos - No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO The API was not changed. There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the structure. The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space. Dynamic assigned or allocated create a little bit more code. Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a function call. Only the really small one generates inline code. Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the "unsigned char" byte streamed fifos. There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single element in a fifo. This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit larger but faster. I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to maintain. But i have all tested and it works as expected. I analyzed the output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written assembler code. For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the same as with the current kfifo implementation. For all other types of fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use. The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy to use. So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what a developer needs. This will save in the future a lot of kernel space, since there is no need to write an own implementation. Most of the device driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain benefit from this API. Here are the results of the text section usage: Example 1: kfifo_put/_get kfifo_in/out current kfifo dynamic allocated 0x000002a8 0x00000291 0x00000299 in place 0x00000291 0x0000026e 0x00000273 kfifo.c new old text section size 0x00000be5 0x000008b2 As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline). The code is complete hand crafted and optimized. The text section size is as small as possible. You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb. This includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling. This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented. Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users. All functions which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed. So, please adapt your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post it. This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel: kfifo_to_user() kfifo_from_user() kfifo_dma_....() macros kfifo_esize() kfifo_recsize() kfifo_put() kfifo_get() The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the variable size records fifo's This patch: User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access the fifo structure. Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.

2010-08-11param: update drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.c to new schemeRusty Russell1-15/+27
This is one of the most interesting users of module parameters in the tree, so weaning it off the old-style non-const module_param_call scheme is a useful exercise. I was confused by set_param_int/get_param_int (vs. the normal param_set_int and param_get_int), so I renamed set_param_int to set_param_timeout, and re-used param_get_int directly instead of get_param_int. I also implemented param_check_wdog_ifnum and param_check_timeout, so now the ifnum_to_use and timeout/pretimeout parameters can just use plain module_param().

Sorry, one more fix, this one depends on the other, so this is rather 2/2. -- tty->driver_data is used all over the code, but never set.

2010-08-10tty: avoid recursive BTM in pty_closeArnd Bergmann2-13/+15
When the console has been redirected, a hangup of the tty will cause tty_release to be called under the big tty_mutex, which leads to a deadlock because hangup is also called under the BTM. This moves the BTM deeper into the tty_hangup function so we can close the redirected tty without holding the BTM. In case of pty, we now need to drop the BTM before calling tty_vhangup.

2010-08-10tty: release BTM while sleeping in block_til_readyArnd Bergmann8-1/+19
Most tty drivers may block while opening a device. Since this possibly depends on another thread closing it first and both threads may need the BTM, we need to release it here.

2010-08-10tty: implement BTM as mutex instead of BKLArnd Bergmann2-0/+48
The tty locking now follows the rules for mutexes, so we can replace the BKL usage with a new subsystem wide mutex. Using a regular mutex here will change the behaviour when blocked on the BTM from spinning to sleeping, but that should not be visible to the user. Using the mutex also means that all the BTM is now covered by lockdep.

2010-08-10tty: remove tty_lock_nestedArnd Bergmann4-26/+24
This changes all remaining users of tty_lock_nested to be non-recursive, which lets us kill this function.

2010-08-10tty: untangle locking of wait_until_sentArnd Bergmann1-2/+9
Some wait_until_sent versions require the big tty mutex, others don't and some callers of wait_until_sent already hold it while other don't. That leads to recursive use of the BTM in these functions, which we're trying to get rid of. This turns all cleans up the locking there so that the driver's wait_until_sent function never takes the BTM itself if it is already called with that lock held.

2010-08-10tty: reorder ldisc lockingArnd Bergmann2-6/+27
We need to release the BTM in paste_selection() when sleeping in tty_ldisc_ref_wait to avoid deadlocks with tty_ldisc_enable. In tty_set_ldisc, we now always grab the BTM before taking the ldisc_mutex in order to avoid AB-BA deadlocks between the two. tty_ldisc_halt potentially blocks on a workqueue function that takes the BTM, so we must release the BTM before calling it.
