* tty: Use raw spin lock to protect the TTY read sectionIvo Sieben2013-02-041-28/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "normal" spin lock that guards the N_TTY line discipline read section is replaced by a raw spin lock. On a PREEMP_RT system this prevents unwanted scheduling overhead when data is read at the same time as data is being received: while RX IRQ threaded handling is busy a TTY read call is performed from a RT priority > threaded IRQ priority. The read call tries to take the read section spin lock (held by the threaded IRQ) which blocks and causes a context switch to/from the threaded IRQ handler until the spin lock is unlocked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty == NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too. * if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have a tty and dereference that. * BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for. * if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be called until the reference is dropped. * if (WARN_ON(!tty->read_buf)) in n_tty_read -- the same as in the previous case.

* n_tty: Don't lose characters when PARMRK is enabledJaeden Amero2012-08-101-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When PARMRK is set and large transfers of characters that will get marked are being received, n_tty could drop data silently (i.e. without reporting any error to the client). This is because characters have the potential to take up to three bytes in the line discipline (when they get marked with parity or framing errors), but the amount of free space reported to tty_buffer flush_to_ldisc (via tty->receive_room) is based on the pre-marked data size. With this patch, the n_tty layer will no longer assume that each byte will only take up one byte in the line discipline. Instead, it will make an overly conservative estimate that each byte will take up three bytes in the line discipline when PARMRK is set.

* TTY: n_tty, do not dereference user bufferJiri Slaby2012-04-291-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | copy_from_read_buf currently copies data to a user buffer and then checks if the data is single EOF. But it checks it by accessing the user buffer. First, the buffer may be changed by other threads of the user program already. Second, it accesses the buffer without any checks. It might be write-only for example. Fix this by inspecting contents of the tty (kernel) buffer instead. Note that "n == 1" is necessary, but not sufficient. But we check later that there is nothing left by "!tty->read_cnt" condition. There is still an issue with the current code that EOF being wrapped to the start of the circular buffer will result in an inappropriate losing of the EOF character. But this is not intended to be fixed by this patch.

* Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"Linus Torvalds2011-06-041-14/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.

* tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills upLinus Torvalds2011-04-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f23eb2b2b285 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer') ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm itself if the destination buffer had filled up. With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with basically a busy loop instead. Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work. That's what we should have been doing anyway. This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592 which is that silly flushing done every timer tick. Wasting both power and CPU for no good reason.
