Peter Hurley aba24888d9 tty: r3964: Replace/remove bogus tty lock use
The tty lock is strictly for serializing tty lifetime events
(open/close/hangup), and not for line discipline serialization.

The tty core already provides serialization of concurrent writes
to the same tty, and line discipline lifetime management (by ldisc
references), so pinning the tty via tty_lock() is unnecessary and
counter-productive; remove tty lock use.

However, the line discipline is responsible for serializing reads
(if required by the line discipline); add read_lock mutex to
serialize calls of r3964_read().

Peter Hurley 9b9ab1b3f0 tty: r3964: Use tty->read_wait waitqueue
The tty core provides read_wait waitqueue specifically for line
disciplines to wait readers; otherwise, the line discipline may
miss wakeups generated by the tty core.

NB: The tty core already provides serialization for the line discipline's
close() method, and guarantees no readers or writers will be using the
closing instance of the line discipline. Completely remove that wakeup.

Peter Hurley 82f91fe092 tty: Always handle NULL flag ptr
Most line disciplines already handle the undocumented NULL flag
ptr in their .receive_buf method; however, several don't.

Document the NULL flag ptr, and correct handling in the
N_MOUSE, N_GSM0710 and N_R394 line disciplines.

Alan Cox 6d31a88cb2 tty: revert incorrectly applied lock patch
I sent GregKH this after the pre-requisites. He dropped the pre-requesites
for good reason and unfortunately then applied this patch. Without this
reverted you get random kernel memory corruption which will make bisecting
anything between it and the properly applied patches a complete sod.

Linus Torvalds f309532bf3 tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work
This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.

The main revert is d29f3ef39b ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

  fde86d3108 - tty: add lockdep annotations
  8f6576ad47 - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
  d3ca8b64b9 - pty: Fix lock inversion
  b1d679afd7 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
  abcefe5fc3 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
  fd11b42e35 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  d29f3ef39b - tty_lock: Localise the lock

The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
that got removed in the meantime.

Alan Cox d29f3ef39b tty_lock: Localise the lock
In each remaining case the tty_lock is associated with a specific tty. This
means we can now lock on a per tty basis. We do need tty_lock_pair() for
the pty case. Uglier but still a step in the right direction.

Linus Torvalds 55db4c64ed Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received"
This reverts commit b1c43f82c5.

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 a5660b41af6a: "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 a5660b41af.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

Felipe Balbi b1c43f82c5 tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received
it makes it simpler to keep track of the amount of
bytes received and simplifies how flush_to_ldisc counts
the remaining bytes. It also fixes a bug of lost bytes
on n_tty when flushing too many bytes via the USB
serial gadget driver.

driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
