      tty: Fix race condition if flushing tty flip buffers · 39f610e4
      Peter Hurley 提交于
      As Ilya Zykov identified in his patch 'PROBLEM: Race condition in
      tty buffer's function flush_to_ldisc()', a race condition exists
      which allows a parallel flush_to_ldisc() to flush and free the tty
      flip buffers while those buffers are in-use. For example,
      
        CPU 0                         |  CPU 1                                  |  CPU 2
                                      | flush_to_ldisc()                        |
                                      |  grab spin lock                         |
      tty_buffer_flush()              |                                         | flush_to_ldisc()
       wait for spin lock             |                                         |  wait for spin lock
                                      |   if (!test_and_set_bit(TTYP_FLUSHING)) |
                                      |    while (next flip buffer)             |
                                      |     ...                                 |
                                      |     drop spin lock                      |
        grab spin lock                |                                         |
         if (test_bit(TTYP_FLUSHING)) |                                         |
          set_bit(TTYP_FLUSHPENDING)  |      receive_buf()                      |
          drop spin lock              |                                         |
                                      |                                         |   grab spin lock
                                      |                                         |    if (!test_and_set_bit(TTYP_FLUSHING))
                                      |                                         |    if (test_bit(TTYP_FLUSHPENDING))
                                      |                                         |    __tty_buffer_flush()
      
      CPU 2 has just flushed and freed all tty flip buffers while CPU 1 is
      transferring data from the head flip buffer.
      
      The original patch was rejected under the assumption that parallel
      flush_to_ldisc() was not possible. Because of necessary changes to
      the workqueue api, work items can execute in parallel on SMP.
      
      This patch differs slightly from the original patch by testing for
      a pending flush _after_ each receive_buf(), since TTYP_FLUSHPENDING
      can only be set while the lock is dropped around receive_buf().

      ARM: PL011: Add support for Rx DMA buffer polling. · cb06ff10
      Chanho Min 提交于
      In DMA support, The received data is not pushed to tty until the DMA buffer
      is filled. But some megabyte rate chips such as BT expect fast response and
      data should be pushed immediately. In order to fix this issue, We suggest
      the use of the timer for polling DMA buffer.
      In our test, no data loss occurred at high-baudrate as compared with interrupt-
      driven (We tested with 3Mbps).
      We changes:
      
      - We add timer for polling. If we set poll_timer to 10, every 10ms,
       timer handler checks the residue in the dma buffer and transfer data
       to the tty. Also, last_residue is updated for the next polling.
      
      - poll_timeout is used to prevent the timer's system cost.
        If poll_timeout is set to 3000 and no data is received in 3 seconds,
        we inactivate poll timer and driver falls back to interrupt-driven.
        When data is received again in FIFO and UART irq is occurred, we switch
        back to DMA mode and start polling.
      
      - We use consistent DMA mappings to avoid from the frequent cache operation
        of the timer function for default.
      
      - pl011_dma_rx_chars is modified. the pending size is recalculated because
        data can be taken by polling.
      
      - the polling time is adjusted if dma rx poll is enabled but no rate is
        specified. Ideal polling interval to push 1 character at every interval
        is the reciprocal of 'baud rate / 10 line bits per character / 1000 ms
        per sec'. But It is very aggressive to system. Experimentally,
       '10000000 / baud' is suitable to receive dozens of characters. the poll rate
       can be specified statically by dma_rx_poll_rate of the platform data as well.
      
      Changes compared to v1:
       - Use of consistent DMA mappings.
       - Added dma_rx_poll_rate in platform data to specify the polling interval.
       - Added dma_rx_poll_timeout in platform data to specify the polling timeout.
      
      Changes compared to v2:
       - Use of consistent DMA mappings for default.
       - Added dma_rx_poll_enable in platform data to adjust the polling time
         according to the baud rate.
       - remove unnecessary lock from the polling function.
