We can use the port mutex for this and also for the hangup path so removing the problematic use of the hangup mutex in this driver. Fix up the locking on the various port flags while we are at it. Ultimately this driver needs to be using tty_port_ helpers which would sort this out far better.

The riscom8 board uses lock_kernel to protect bits of the port setting ioctl logic. We can use the port mutex for this as the logic is internal and will also lock set versus open (a locking property that has been lost somewhere along the way) Signed-off-by: NAlan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

由 Jesse Barnes 提交于
Jesse's initial patch commit said: "At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since some drivers are capable of flipping back to it. So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a panic context." I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

由 hyc@symas.com 提交于
This patch is against the 2.6.34 source. Paraphrased from the 1989 BSD patch by David Borman @ cray.com: These are the changes needed for the kernel to support LINEMODE in the server. There is a new bit in the termios local flag word, EXTPROC. When this bit is set, several aspects of the terminal driver are disabled. Input line editing, character echo, and mapping of signals are all disabled. This allows the telnetd to turn off these functions when in linemode, but still keep track of what state the user wants the terminal to be in. New ioctl: TIOCSIG Generate a signal to processes in the current process group of the pty. There is a new mode for packet driver, the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit. When packet mode is turned on in the pty, and the EXTPROC bit is set, then whenever the state of the pty is changed, the next read on the master side of the pty will have the TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit set. This allows the process on the server side of the pty to know when the state of the terminal has changed; it can then issue the appropriate ioctl to retrieve the new state. Since the original BSD patches accompanied the source code for telnet I've left that reference here, but obviously the feature is useful for any remote terminal protocol, including ssh. The corresponding feature has existed in the BSD tty driver since 1989.

由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于
The mrst_max3110 driver had a set of unsafe wakeup sequences along the following line: if (!atomic_read(&foo)) { atomic_set(&foo, 1); wake_up(worker_thread); } and the worker thread would do if (atomic_read(&foo)) { do_work(); atomic_set(&foo, 0); } which can result in various missed wakups due to test-then-set races, as well as due to clear-after-work instead of clear-before-work. This patch fixes these races by using the proper bit test-and-set operations, and by doing clear-before-work.

由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于
The mrst_max3110.c driver uses an open coded, non atomic variable to create exclusion between two of its worker threads. More than that, while the main thread does a proper set-work-clear sequence, the other thread only does a test, with the result that no actual exclusion is happening. this patch replaces this open coded variable with a proper mutex in addition, the 'lock' spinlock is removed from the per adapter structure, the lock was only ever initialized but never used Signed-off-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAlan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This change addresses the following situation: - Thread A acquires the rwsem for read - Thread B tries to acquire the rwsem for write, notices there is already an active owner for the rwsem. - Thread C tries to acquire the rwsem for read, notices that thread B already tried to acquire it. - Thread C grabs the spinlock and queues itself on the wait queue. - Thread B grabs the spinlock and queues itself behind C. At this point A is the only remaining active owner on the rwsem.

In __rwsem_do_wake(), we can skip the active count check unless we come there from up_xxxx(). Also when checking the active count, it is not actually necessary to increment it; this allows us to get rid of the read side undo code and simplify the calculation of the final rwsem count adjustment once we've counted the reader threads to wake. The basic observation is the following. When there are waiter threads on a rwsem and the spinlock is held, other threads can only increment the active count by trying to grab the rwsem in down_xxxx(). However down_xxxx() will notice there are waiter threads and take the down_failed path, blocking to acquire the spinlock on the way there. Therefore, a thread observing an active count of zero with waiters queued and the spinlock held, is protected against other threads acquiring the rwsem until it wakes the last waiter or releases the spinlock.
