      Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received" · 55db4c64
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit b1c43f82.
      
      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 a5660b41: "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 a5660b41.
      
      Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

      block: fix mismerge of the DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE removal · 0f48f260
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Jens' back-merge commit 698567f3 ("Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into
      for-2.6.40/core") was incorrectly done, and re-introduced the
      DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE lines that had been removed earlier in commits
      
       - 9fd097b1 ("block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for
         legacy/fringe drivers")
      
       - 7eec77a1 ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd
         and ide-cd")
      
      because of conflicts with the "g->flags" updates near-by by commit
      d4dc210f ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical
      devices")
      
      As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk
      media change reports.
      
      Tssk, tssk, people! Don't do back-merges at all, and *definitely* don't
      do them to hide merge conflicts from me - especially as I'm likely
      better at merging them than you are, since I do so many merges.
