tty: split the buffering from tty_io The two are basically independent chunks of code so lets split them up for readability and sanity. It also makes the API boundaries much clearer. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

pps: Move timestamp read into PPS code proper The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading to its breakage. The previous patches fixed the crashing. This one reduces coupling further by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method. This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic, and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

tty: Fix flip buffer free list Since flip buffers are size-aligned to 256 bytes and all flip buffers 512-bytes or larger are not added to the free list, the free list only contains 256-byte flip buffers.

tty: Enable configurable tty flip buffer limit Allow driver to configure its maximum flip buffer memory consumption/limit. This is necessary for very-high speed line rates (in excess of 10MB/sec) because the flip buffers can be saturated before the line discipline has a chance to throttle the input.

tty: Correct tty buffer flush. The root of problem is carelessly zeroing pointer(in function __tty_buffer_flush()), when another thread can use it. It can be cause of "NULL pointer dereference". Main idea of the patch, this is never free last (struct tty_buffer) in the active buffer. Only flush the data for ldisc(buf->head->read = buf->head->commit). At that moment driver can collect(write) data in buffer without conflict. It is repeat behavior of flush_to_ldisc(), only without feeding data to ldisc. Also revert: commit c56a00a165712fd73081f40044b1e64407bb1875 tty: hold lock across tty buffer finding and buffer filling In order to delete the unneeded locks any more.

Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay. In short: 1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer. 2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room. 3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling newly committed data. Detailed example: * Initial buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL * Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc'' * consumed 10 Byte * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; // count = 0 if (!count) { // enter // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER -> if (head->next == NULL) break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); continue; } }}} * Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum. * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL * push (tty_flip_buffer_push) * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL * Consumer {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; if (!count) { // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <- if (head->next == NULL) // -> no break break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); // ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost continue; } }}} This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case.

tty: Make ldisc input flow control concurrency-friendly Although line discipline receiving is single-producer/single-consumer, using tty->receive_room to manage flow control creates unnecessary critical regions requiring additional lock use. Instead, introduce the optional .receive_buf2() ldisc method which returns the # of bytes actually received. Serialization is guaranteed by the caller. In turn, the line discipline should schedule the buffer work item whenever space becomes available; ie., when there is room to receive data and receive_room() previously returned 0 (the buffer work item stops processing if receive_buf2() returns 0). Note the 'no room' state need not be atomic despite concurrent use by two threads because only the buffer work thread can set the state and only the read() thread can clear the state. Add n_tty_receive_buf2() as the receive_buf2() method for N_TTY. Provide a public helper function, tty_ldisc_receive_buf(), to use when directly accessing the receive_buf() methods. Line disciplines not using input flow control can continue to set tty->receive_room to a fixed value and only provide the receive_buf() method.

tty: Simplify tty buffer/ldisc interface with helper function Ldisc interface functions must be called with interrupts enabled. Separating the ldisc calls into a helper function simplies the eventual removal of the spinlock. Note that access to the buf->head ptr outside the spinlock is safe here because; * __tty_buffer_flush() is prevented from running while buffer work performs i/o, * tty_buffer_find() only assigns buf->head if the flip buffer list is empty (which is never the case in flush_to_ldisc() since at least one buffer is always left in the list after use) Access to the read index outside the spinlock is safe here for the same reasons. Update the buffer's read index _after_ the data has been received by the ldisc. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay. In short: 1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer. 2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room. 3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling newly committed data. Detailed example: * Initial buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL * Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc'' * consumed 10 Byte * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; // count = 0 if (!count) { // enter // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER -> if (head->next == NULL) break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); continue; } }}} * Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum. * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL * push (tty_flip_buffer_push) * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL * Consumer {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; if (!count) { // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <- if (head->next == NULL) // -> no break break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); // ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost continue; } }}} This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case.

tty: Fix race condition between __tty_buffer_request_room and flush_to_ldisc The race was introduced while development of linux-3.11 by e8437d7ecbc50198705331449367d401ebb3181f and e9975fdec0138f1b2a85b9624e41660abd9865d4. Originally it was found and reproduced on linux-3.12.15 and linux-3.12.15-rt25, by sending 500 byte blocks with 115kbaud to the target uart in a loop with 100 milliseconds delay. In short: 1. The consumer flush_to_ldisc is on to remove the head tty_buffer. 2. The producer adds a number of bytes, so that a new tty_buffer must be allocated and added by __tty_buffer_request_room. 3. The consumer removes the head tty_buffer element, without handling newly committed data. Detailed example: * Initial buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=240; next=NULL * Consumer: ''flush_to_ldisc'' * consumed 10 Byte * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; // count = 0 if (!count) { // enter // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER -> if (head->next == NULL) break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); continue; } }}} * Producer: tty_insert_flip_... 10 bytes + tty_flip_buffer_push * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=250; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 6 bytes: head-element filled to maximum. * buffer: * Head, Tail -> 0: used=256; commit=250; read=250; next=NULL * added 4 bytes: __tty_buffer_request_room is called * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=0; read=250 next=NULL * push (tty_flip_buffer_push) * buffer: * Head -> 0: used=256; commit=256; read=250; next=1 * Tail -> 1: used=4; commit=4; read=250 next=NULL * Consumer {{{ count = head->commit - head->read; if (!count) { // INTERRUPTED BY PRODUCER <- if (head->next == NULL) // -> no break break; buf->head = head->next; tty_buffer_free(port, head); // ERROR: tty_buffer head freed -> 6 bytes lost continue; } }}} This patch reintroduces a spin_lock to protect this case.

tty: Only perform flip buffer flush from tty_buffer_flush() Now that dropping the buffer lock is not necessary (as result of converting the spin lock to a mutex), the flip buffer flush no longer needs to be handled by the buffer work. Simply signal a flush is required; the buffer work will exit the i/o loop, which allows tty_buffer_flush() to proceed.

pty: avoid forcing 'low_latency' tty flag We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?), and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the low_latency case. So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to be had. This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer (bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack (commit 3a54297478e6578f96fd54bf4daa1751130aca86: "pty: quickfix for the pty ENXIO timing problems").

tty: Fix low_latency BUG The user-settable knob, low_latency, has been the source of several BUG reports which stem from flush_to_ldisc() running in interrupt context. Since 3.12, which added several sleeping locks (termios_rwsem and buf->lock) to the input processing path, the frequency of these BUG reports has increased. Note that changes in 3.12 did not introduce this regression; sleeping locks were first added to the input processing path with the removal of the BKL from N_TTY in commit a88a69c91256418c5907c2f1f8a0ec0a36f9e6cc, 'n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty' and later in commit 38db89799bdf11625a831c5af33938dcb11908b6, 'tty: throttling race fix'. Since those changes, executing flush_to_ldisc() in interrupt_context (ie, low_latency set), is unsafe. However, since most devices do not validate if the low_latency setting is appropriate for the context (process or interrupt) in which they receive data, some reports are due to misconfiguration. Further, serial dma devices for which dma fails, resort to interrupt receiving as a backup without resetting low_latency. Historically, low_latency was used to force wake-up the reading process rather than wait for the next scheduler tick. The effect was to trim multiple milliseconds of latency from when the process would receive new data. Recent tests [1] have shown that the reading process now receives data with only 10's of microseconds latency without low_latency set. Remove the low_latency rx steering from tty_flip_buffer_push(); however, leave the knob as an optional hint to drivers that can tune their rx fifos and such like. Cleanup stale code comments regarding low_latency.
