This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero, random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no other userspace process applies the expected permissions.

Commit ac89a917 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself. That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write. Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push out data to the tty. When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details). End result: one unhappy ppp user. Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much not calling tty_wakeup()).

Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500) so there are no excuses. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to worry about, not the pty layer itself. The total buffer space will still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size somehow. And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes as two single-byte writes. And if the first byte written (CR) then caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly failed the write - leading to a lost newline character.

When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as two tty_put_char() calls. Which works, but is stupid, and has caused problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic. The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example. Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9c: "pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic"). So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write instead. That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test, which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering, it won't cause weeks of debugging.

When I rewrote tty ldisc code to use proper reference counts (commits 65b77046 and cbe9352f) in order to avoid a race with hangup, the test-program that Eric Biederman used to trigger the original problem seems to have exposed another long-standing bug: the hangup code did the 'tty_ldisc_halt()' to stop any buffer flushing activity, but unlike the other call sites it never actually flushed any pending work. As a result, if you get just the right timing, the pending work may be just about to execute (ie the timer has already triggered and thus cancel_delayed_work() was a no-op), when we then re-initialize the ldisc from under it. That, in turn, results in various random problems, usually seen as a NULL pointer dereference in run_timer_softirq() or a BUG() in worker_thread (but it can be almost anything). Fix it by adding the required 'flush_scheduled_work()' after doing the tty_ldisc_halt() (this also requires us to move the ldisc halt to before taking the ldisc mutex in order to avoid a deadlock with the workqueue executing do_tty_hangup, which requires the mutex). The locking should be cleaned up one day (the requirement to do this outside the ldisc_mutex is very annoying, and weakens the lock), but that's a larger and separate undertaking.

Using the radeon KMS test functionality, I verified that the AGP bridge of the Intrepid2 chipset in my PowerBook supports aperture sizes up to 256M. So allow aperture sizes up to 256M on pre-U3 bridges as well, and bump the default size to 256M. It's possible that older revisions only support smaller sizes, but it'll be easy to verify that with the raden KMS test functionality. Also, there's only a problem on an actual attempt to access the aperture beyond the maximum size supported by the hardware, and non-KMS X still defaults to using only 32M. Also use ARRAY_SIZE for the aperture size arrays. Signed-off-by: NMichel Dänzer <daenzer@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Commit d945cb9c ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data properly when the tty is stopped. So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty. The pty write() routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check 'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written. This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things, but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped' handling.

By using the user count for the actual lifetime rules, we can get rid of the silly "wait_for_idle" logic, because any busy ldisc will automatically stay around until the last user releases it. This avoids a host of odd issues, and simplifies the code. So now, when the last ldisc reference is dropped, we just release the ldisc operations struct reference, and free the ldisc. It looks obvious enough, and it does work for me, but the counting _could_ be off. It probably isn't (bad counting in the new version would generally imply that the old code did something really bad, like free an ldisc with a non-zero count), but it does need some testing, and preferably somebody looking at it. With this change, both 'tty_ldisc_put()' and 'tty_ldisc_deref()' are just aliases for the new ref-counting 'put_ldisc()'. Both of them decrement the ldisc user count and free it if it goes down to zero. They're identical functions, in other words. But the reason they still exist as sepate functions is that one of them was exported (tty_ldisc_deref) and had a stupid name (so I don't want to use it as the main name), and the other one was used in multiple places (and I didn't want to make the patch larger just to rename the users). In addition to the refcounting, I did do some minimal cleanup. For example, now "tty_ldisc_try()" actually returns the ldisc it got under the lock, rather than returning true/false and then the caller would look up the ldisc again (now without the protection of the lock). That said, there's tons of dubious use of 'tty->ldisc' without obviously proper locking or refcounting left. I expressly did _not_ want to try to fix it all, keeping the patch minimal. There may or may not be bugs in that kind of code, but they wouldn't be _new_ bugs. That said, even if the bugs aren't new, the timing and lifetime will change. For example, some silly code may depend on the 'tty->ldisc' pointer not changing because they hold a refcount on the 'ldisc'. And that's no longer true - if you hold a ref on the ldisc, the 'ldisc' itself is safe, but tty->ldisc may change. So the proper locking (remains) to hold tty->ldisc_mutex if you expect tty->ldisc to be stable. That's not really a _new_ rule, but it's an example of something that the old code might have unintentionally depended on and hidden bugs. Whatever. The patch _looks_ sensible to me. The only users of ldisc->users are: - get_ldisc() - atomically increment the count - put_ldisc() - atomically decrements the count and releases if zero - tty_ldisc_try_get() - creates the ldisc, and sets the count to 1. The ldisc should then either be released, or be attached to a tty.

This is pure preparation of changing the ldisc reference counting to be a true refcount that defines the lifetime of the ldisc. But this is a purely syntactic change for now to make the next steps easier. This patch should make no semantic changes at all. But I wanted to make the ldisc refcount be an atomic (I will be touching it without locks soon enough), and I wanted to rename it so that there isn't quite as much confusion between 'ldo->refcount' (ldisk operations refcount) and 'ld->refcount' (ldisc refcount itself) in the same file. So it's now an atomic 'ld->users' count. It still starts at zero, despite having a reference from 'tty->ldisc', but that will change once we turn it into a _real_ refcount.
