36697529b5 tty: Replace ldisc locking with ldisc_sem
Line discipline locking was performed with a combination of
a mutex, a status bit, a count, and a waitqueue -- basically,
a rw semaphore.

Replace the existing combination with an ld_semaphore.

Fixes:
 1) the 'reference acquire after ldisc locked' bug
 2) the over-complicated halt mechanism
 3) lock order wrt. tty_lock()
 4) dropping locks while changing ldisc
 5) previously unidentified deadlock while locking ldisc from
    both linked ttys concurrently
 6) previously unidentified recursive deadlocks

Adds much-needed lockdep diagnostics.

The spin lock in tty_ldisc_try() does nothing wrt synchronizing

ebc9baed42 tty: Separate release semantics of ldisc reference
tty_ldisc_ref()/tty_ldisc_unref() have usage semantics
equivalent to down_read_trylock()/up_read(). Only
callers of tty_ldisc_put() are performing the additional
operations necessary for proper ldisc teardown, and then only
after ensuring no outstanding 'read lock' remains.

Thus, tty_ldisc_unref() should never be the last reference;
WARN if it is. Conversely, tty_ldisc_put() should never be
destructing if the use count != 1.

4f98d46751 tty: Complete ownership transfer of flip buffers
Waiting for buffer work to complete is not required for safely
performing changes to the line discipline, once the line discipline
is halted. The buffer work routine, flush_to_ldisc(), will be
unable to acquire an ldisc ref and all existing references were
waited until released (so it can't already have one).

Ensure running buffer work which may reference the soon-to-be-gone
tty completes and any buffer work running after this point retrieves
a NULL tty.

Also, ensure all buffer work is cancelled on port destruction.

f4cf7a3845 tty: Halt both ldiscs concurrently
The pty driver does not obtain an ldisc reference to the linked
tty when writing. When the ldiscs are sequentially halted, it
is possible for one ldisc to be halted, and before the second
ldisc can be halted, a concurrent write schedules buffer work on
the first ldisc. This can lead to an access-after-free error when
the scheduled buffer work starts on the closed ldisc.

Prevent subsequent use after halt by performing each stage
of the halt on both ttys.

cf52847658 tty: Strengthen no-subsequent-use guarantee of tty_ldisc_halt()
In preparation for destructing and freeing the tty, the line discipline
must first be brought to an inactive state before it can be destructed.
This line discipline shutdown must:
 - disallow new users of the ldisc
 - wait for existing ldisc users to finish
 - only then, cancel/flush their pending/running work

Factor tty_ldisc_wait_idle() from tty_set_ldisc() and tty_ldisc_kill()
to ensure this shutdown order.

Failure to provide this guarantee can result in scheduled work
running after the tty has already been freed, as indicated in the
following log message:

2276ad9765 tty: Remove unnecessary re-test of ldisc ref count
Since the tty->ldisc is prevented from being changed by tty_set_ldisc()
when a tty is being hung up, re-testing the ldisc user count is
unnecessary -- ie, it cannot be a different ldisc and the user count
cannot have increased (assuming the caller meets the precondition that
TTY_LDISC flag is cleared)

Removal of the 'early-out' locking optimization is necessary for
the subsequent patch 'tty: Fix ldisc halt sequence on hangup'.

| *** DEADLOCK ***

Before the path mentioned tty_ldisc_release() look like this:

|	tty_ldisc_halt(tty);
|	tty_ldisc_flush_works(tty);
|	tty_lock();

As it can be seen, it first flushes the workqueue and then grabs the
tty_lock. Now we grab the lock first:

|	tty_lock_pair(tty, o_tty);
|	tty_ldisc_halt(tty);
|	tty_ldisc_flush_works(tty);

so lockdep's complaint seems valid.

The earlier version of this patch took the ldisc_mutex since the other
user of tty_ldisc_flush_works() (tty_set_ldisc()) did this.
Peter Hurley then said that it is should not be requried. Since it
wasn't done earlier, I dropped this part.
The code under tty_ldisc_kill() was executed earlier with the tty lock
taken so it is taken again.

I was able to reproduce the deadlock on v3.8-rc1, this patch fixes the
problem in my testcase. I didn't notice any problems so far.

31e121284f TTY: ldisc, wait for idle ldisc in release
We reintroduced tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5 (TTY: restore
tty_ldisc_wait_idle) and used in set_ldisc. Then we added it also to
the hangup path in 92f6fa09bd (TTY: ldisc, do not close until there
are readers). And we noted that there is one more path:
~   Before 65b770468e tty_ldisc_wait_idle was called also from
~   tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think
~   we need to restore that one.

Well, I was wrong. There might still be holders of an ldisc
reference. Not from userspace, but drivers. If they take a reference
and a user closes the device immediately after that, we have a
problem. ldisc is halted and closed by TTY, but the driver still may
call some ldisc's operation and cause a crash.

So restore the tty_ldisc_wait_idle call also to the third location
where it was before 65b770468e (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count
into a proper refcount). Now we should be safe with respect to the
ldisc reference counting as all* tty_ldisc_close paths are safely
called with reference count of one.

* Not the one in tty_ldisc_setup's fail path. But that is called
  before the first open finishes. So userspace does not see it yet.
  Even thought the driver is given the TTY already via ->install, it
  should not take a reference to the ldisc yet. If some driver is to
  do this, we should put one tty_ldisc_wait_idle also in the setup.

033d9959ed Merge branch 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

43829731dd workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious.  Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

d155255a34 tty: Fix race in tty release
Ian Abbott found that the tty layer would explode with the right set of
parallel open and close operations. This is because we race in the
handling of tty->drivers->termios[].

Correct this by
	Making tty_ldisc_release behave like nromal code (takes the lock,
			does stuff, drops the lock)
	Drop the tty lock earlier in tty_ldisc_release
	Taking the tty mutex around the driver->termios update in all cases
	Adding a WARN_ON to catch future screwups.

I also forgot to clean up the pty resources properly. With a pty pair we
need to pull both halves out of the tables.

0c73c08ec7 TTY: ldisc, wait for ldisc infinitely in hangup
For /dev/console case, we do not kill all ldisc users. It's due to
redirected_tty_write test in __tty_hangup. In that case there still
might be a process waiting e.g. in n_tty_read for input.

We wait for such processes to disappear. The problem is that we use a
timeout. After this timeout, we continue closing the ldisc and start
freeing tty resources. It obviously leads to crashes when the other
process is woken.

So to fix this, we wait infinitely before reiniting the ldisc. (The
tiocsetd remains untouched -- times out after 5s.)

This is nicely reproducible with this run from shell:
  exec 0<>/dev/console 1<>/dev/console 2<>/dev/console
and stopping a getty like:
  systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyS0.service

The crash proper may be produced only under load or with constified
timing the same as for 92f6fa09b.

92f6fa09bd TTY: ldisc, do not close until there are readers
We restored tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5 (TTY: restore
tty_ldisc_wait_idle). We used it in the ldisc changing path to fix the
case where there are tasks in n_tty_read waiting for data and somebody
tries to change ldisc.

Similar to the case above, there may be also tasks waiting in
n_tty_read while hangup is performed. As 65b770468e (tty-ldisc: turn
ldisc user count into a proper refcount) removed the wait-until-idle
from all paths, hangup path won't wait for them to disappear either
now. So add it back even to the hangup path.

There is a difference, we need uninterruptible sleep as there is
obviously HUP signal pending. So tty_ldisc_wait_idle now sleeps
without possibility to be interrupted. This is what original
tty_ldisc_wait_idle did. After the wait idle reintroduction
(100eeae2c5), we have had interruptible sleeps for the ldisc changing
path. But as there is a 5s timeout anyway, we don't allow it to be
interrupted from now on. It's not worth the added complexity of
deciding what kind of sleep we want.

Before 65b770468e tty_ldisc_release was called also from
tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think we
need to restore that one.

It calls tty_ldisc_deinit which is opposite of tty_ldisc_init. It only

f23eb2b2b2 tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer
Using delayed-work for tty flip buffers ends up causing us to wait for
the next tick to complete some actions.  That's usually not all that
noticeable, but for certain latency-critical workloads it ends up being
totally unacceptable.

As an extreme case of this, passing a token back-and-forth over a pty
will take two ticks per iteration, so even just a thousand iterations
will take 8 seconds assuming a common 250Hz configuration.

Avoiding the whole delayed work issue brings that ping-pong test-case
down to 0.009s on my machine.

In more practical terms, this latency has been a performance problem for
things like dive computer simulators (simulating the serial interface
using the ptys) and for other environments (Alan mentions a CP/M emulator).

These were missed the last time I cleaned this up
globally, because of code moving around or new code
getting merged.

0a1f1a0b62 tty_ldisc: don't use flush_scheduled_work()
flush_scheduled_work() is scheduled to be deprecated.  Explicitly sync
flush the used work items instead.  Note that before this change,
flush_scheduled_work() wouldn't have properly flushed tty->buf.work if
it were on timer.

7f90cfc505 TTY: ldisc, fix open flag handling
When a concrete ldisc open fails in tty_ldisc_open, we forget to clear
TTY_LDISC_OPEN. This causes a false warning on the next ldisc open:
WARNING: at drivers/char/tty_ldisc.c:445 tty_ldisc_open+0x26/0x38()
Hardware name: System Product Name
Modules linked in: ...
Pid: 5251, comm: a.out Tainted: G        W  2.6.32-5-686 #1

So clear the bit when failing...

Introduced in c65c9bc3ef (tty: rewrite the ldisc locking) back in

1c95ba1e1d tty_ldisc: Fix BUG() on hangup
A kernel BUG when bluetooth rfcomm connection drop while the associated
serial port is open is sometime triggered.

It seems that the line discipline can disappear between the
tty_ldisc_put and tty_ldisc_get. This patch fall back to the N_TTY line
discipline if the previous discipline is not available anymore.

100eeae2c5 TTY: restore tty_ldisc_wait_idle
It was removed in 65b770468e (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count into
a proper refcount), but we need to wait for last user to quit the
ldisc before we close it in tty_set_ldisc.

Otherwise weird things start to happen. There might be processes
waiting in tty_read->n_tty_read on tty->read_wait for input to appear
and at that moment, a change of ldisc is fatal. n_tty_close is called,
it frees read_buf and the waiting process is still in the middle of
reading and goes nuts after it is woken.

Previously we prevented close to happen when others are in ldisc ops
by tty_ldisc_wait_idle in tty_set_ldisc. But the commit above removed
that. So revoke the change and test whether there is 1 user (=we), and
allow the close then.

We can do that without ldisc/tty locks, because nobody else can open
the device due to TTY_LDISC_CHANGING bit set, so we in fact wait for
everybody to leave.

I don't understand why tty_ldisc_lock would be needed either when the
counter is an atomic variable, so this is a lockless
tty_ldisc_wait_idle.

On the other hand, if we fail to wait (timeout or signal), we have to
reenable the halted ldiscs, so we take ldisc lock and reuse the setup
path at the end of tty_set_ldisc.

driver with all of the cruft that is currently there.
