serial: add a new helper function

2012-09-05T20:28:35Z

In most of the time, the driver needs to check if the cts flow control is enabled. But now, the driver checks the ASYNC_CTS_FLOW flag manually, which is not a grace way. So add a new wraper function to make the code tidy and clean. Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: synclink, add tty install

2012-08-13T23:53:13Z

This has two outcomes: * we give the TTY layer a tty_port * we do not find the info structure every time open is called on that tty Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: localise the lock

2012-08-10T19:55:47Z

The termios and other changes mean the other protections needed on the driver tty arrays should be adequate. Turn it all back on. This contains pieces folded in from the fixes made to the original patches | From: Geert Uytterhoeven (fix m68k) | From: Paul Gortmaker (fix cris) | From: Jiri Kosina (lockdep) | From: Eric Dumazet (lockdep) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: move the termios object into the tty

2012-07-16T20:00:41Z

This will let us sort out a whole pile of tty related races. The alternative would be to keep points and refcount the termios objects. However 1. They are tiny anyway 2. Many devices don't use the stored copies 3. We can remove a pty special case Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: revert incorrectly applied lock patch

2012-07-16T19:58:12Z

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.

tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work

2012-06-02T22:21:43Z

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 d29f3ef39be4 ("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: fde86d310886 - tty: add lockdep annotations 8f6576ad476b - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace d3ca8b64b97e - pty: Fix lock inversion b1d679afd766 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup abcefe5fc357 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock() fd11b42e3598 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call d29f3ef39be4 - tty_lock: Localise the lock The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver that got removed in the meantime.

tty_lock: Localise the lock

2012-05-04T23:58:47Z

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. [fixed up calls in 3 missing drivers - gregkh] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing it. Performed with the following command: perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*' *` Signed-off-by: David Howells

TTY: remove unneeded tty->index checks

2012-03-08T19:42:21Z

Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it can be only in interval <0,driver->num). So remove the tests which check exactly this interval. Some are left untouched as they check against the current backing device count. (Leaving apart that the check is racy in most of the cases.)
