* TTY: pty, fix pty countingJiri Slaby2011-08-231-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tty_operations->remove is normally called like: queue_release_one_tty ->tty_shutdown ->tty_driver_remove_tty ->tty_operations->remove However tty_shutdown() is called from queue_release_one_tty() only if tty_operations->shutdown is NULL. But for pty, it is not. pty_unix98_shutdown() is used there as ->shutdown. So tty_operations->remove of pty (i.e. pty_unix98_remove()) is never called. This results in invalid pty_count. I.e. what can be seen in /proc/sys/kernel/pty/nr. I see this was already reported at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/5/370 But it was not fixed since then. This patch is kind of a hackish way. The problem lies in ->install. We allocate there another tty (so-called tty->link). So ->install is called once, but ->remove twice, for both tty and tty->link. The fix here is to count both tty and tty->link and divide the count by 2 for user. And to have ->remove called, let's make tty_driver_remove_tty() global and call that from pty_unix98_shutdown() (tty_operations->shutdown). While at it, let's document that when ->shutdown is defined, tty_shutdown() is not called. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "H.

* TTY: plug in deinitialize_tty_structJiri Slaby2011-04-191-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Used the newly introduced deinitialize_tty_struct to properly shut down ldisc. It is intended to fix the Julian's reported problem. He reports that kmemleak checker warns about memory leak: unreferenced object 0xc0e19860 (size 8): comm cat, pid 1226, jiffies 4294919464 (age 287.476s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 44 de 2d c1 01 00 00 00 D.-..... backtrace: [<c1065a74>] create_object+0x109/0x1ad [<c1063d2b>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x60/0x68 [<c113505c>] tty_ldisc_get+0x54/0x76 [<c11358c9>] tty_ldisc_init+0xa/0x20 [<c1130ab4>] initialize_tty_struct+0x2d/0x1ac [<c1130c8c>] tty_init_dev+0x59/0x10d [<c113136d>] tty_open+0x24a/0x3a2 ...

* TTY: unify pty_unix98_install fail path handlingJiri Slaby2011-04-191-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Change it so that we call the deinit functions at one place at the end of the function (by gotos). And while at it use some sane label names. This is a preparation for the deinitialization of tty in the next patch.

* TTY: create drivers/tty and move the tty core files thereGreg Kroah-Hartman2010-11-051-0/+777
The tty code should be in its own subdirectory and not in the char driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
