2012-10-22	TTY: devpts, do not set driver_data	Jiri Slaby	1	-4/+5
	The goal is to stop setting and using tty->driver_data in devpts code. It should be used solely by the driver's code, pty in this case. Now driver_data are managed only in the pty driver. devpts_pty_new is switched to accept what we used to dig out of tty_struct, i.e. device node number and index. This also removes a note about driver_data being set outside of the driver.

2012-10-22	TTY: devpts, return created inode from devpts_pty_new	Jiri Slaby	1	-4/+4
	The goal is to stop setting and using tty->driver_data in devpts code. It should be used solely by the driver's code, pty in this case. For the cleanup of layering, we will need the inode created in devpts_pty_new to be stored into slave's driver_data. So we convert devpts_pty_new to return the inode or an ERR_PTR-encoded error in case of failure. The move of 'inode = new_inode(sb);' from declarators to the code is only cosmetical, but it makes the code easier to read.

2012-10-22	TTY: devpts, don't care about TTY in devpts_get_tty	Jiri Slaby	1	-4/+3
	The goal is to stop setting and using tty->driver_data in devpts code. It should be used solely by the driver's code, pty in this case. First, here we remove TTY from devpts_get_tty and rename it to devpts_get_priv. Note we do not remove type safety, we just shift the [implicit] (void *) cast one layer up. index was unused in devpts_get_tty, so remove that from the prototype too.

2008-10-13	Add an instance parameter devpts interfaces	Sukadev Bhattiprolu	1	-10/+21
	Pass-in 'inode' or 'tty' parameter to devpts interfaces. With multiple devpts instances, these parameters will be used in subsequent patches to identify the instance of devpts mounted. The parameters also help simplify devpts implementation. Changelog[v3]: - minor changes due to merge with ttydev updates - rename parameters to emphasize they are ptmx or pts inodes - pass-in tty_struct * to devpts_pty_kill() (this will help cleanup the get_node() call in a subsequent patch) Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-30	devpts: factor out PTY index allocation	Sukadev Bhattiprolu	1	-0/+4
	Factor out the code used to allocate/free a pts index into new interfaces, devpts_new_index() and devpts_kill_index(). This localizes the external data structures used in managing the pts indices.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+34
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
