      WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data · 65f27f38
      David Howells 提交于
      Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
      The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
      
      For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
      pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
      structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
      
      To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
      work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
      
      Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
      scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
      work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
      that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
      else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
      problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
      
      However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
      function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
      with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
      work_struct by calling work_release().
      
      In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
      initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

      WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events. · 52bad64d
      David Howells 提交于
      Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
      into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
      the timer_list removed from work_struct.
      
      The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness.  On a 64-bit
      architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size.  This reduces that by half for the
      non-delayable type of event.

      [PATCH] const struct tty_operations · b68e31d0
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
      structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
      structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
      without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
      tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
      be fixed.
      
      This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
      cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
      extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
      warnings.
      
      53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
      most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
      last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

      [PATCH] remove active field from tty buffer structure · 33b37a33
      Paul Fulghum 提交于
      Remove 'active' field from tty buffer structure.  This was added in 2.6.16
      as part of a patch to make the new tty buffering SMP safe.  This field is
      unnecessary with the more intelligently written flush_to_ldisc that adds
      receive_room handling.
      
      Removing this field reverts to simpler logic where the tail buffer is
      always the 'active' buffer, which should not be freed by flush_to_ldisc.
      (active == buffer being filled with new data)
      
      The result is simpler, smaller, and faster tty buffer code.

      Flush data serially to line discipline in blocks no larger than
      tty->receive_room to avoid losing data if line discipline is busy (such as
      N_TTY operating at high speed on heavily loaded system) or does not accept
      data in large blocks (such as N_MOUSE).

      [PATCH] remove TTY_DONT_FLIP · 817d6d3b
      Paul Fulghum 提交于
      Remove TTY_DONT_FLIP tty flag.  This flag was introduced in 2.1.X kernels
      to prevent the N_TTY line discipline functions read_chan() and
      n_tty_receive_buf() from running at the same time.  2.2.15 introduced
      tty->read_lock to protect access to the N_TTY read buffer, which is the
      only state requiring protection between these two functions.
      
      The current TTY_DONT_FLIP implementation is broken for SMP, and is not
      universally honored by drivers that send data directly to the line
      discipline receive_buf function.
      
      Because TTY_DONT_FLIP is not necessary, is broken in implementation, and is
      not universally honored, it is removed.
