* CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the devpts filesystemDavid Howells2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

* tty: Fix close races in USB serialAlan Cox2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | USB serial has always had races where the tty port usage count can hit zero during a receive event. The internal locking is a mutex so we can't use that in the IRQ handlers. With krefs we can tackle this differently but we still need to be careful. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* n_tty: Output bells immediately on a full bufferJoe Peterson2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch causes "bell" (^G) characters (invoked when the input buffer is full) to be immediately output rather than filling the echo buffer. This is especially a problem when the tty is stopped and buffers fill, since the bells do not serve their purpose of immediate notification that the buffer cannot take further input, and they will flush all at once when the tty is restarted.

* n_tty: Fix hanfling of buffer full corner casesJoe Peterson2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the handling of input characters when the tty buffer is full or nearly full. This includes tests that are done in n_tty_receive_char() and handling of PARMRK. Problems with the buffer-full tests done in receive_char() caused characters to be lost at times when the buffer(s) filled. Also, these full conditions would often only be detected with echo on, and PARMRK was not accounted for properly in all cases. One symptom of these problems, in addition to lost characters, was early termination from unix commands like tr and cat when ^Q was used to break from a stopped tty with full buffers (note that breaking out was often previously not possible, due to the pty getting in "gridlock", which will be addressed in another patch). Note space is always reserved at the end of the buffer for a newline (or EOF/EOL) in canonical mode.

* Enable multiple instances of devptsSukadev Bhattiprolu2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys allocated in other instances of devpts. But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple instances only if: - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and - '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could: $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash $ umount /dev/pts $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx $ /usr/sbin/sshd -p 1234 where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs /bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in the original mount of /dev/pts. USER-SPACE-IMPACT: - See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user- space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation. TODO: - Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount. Changelog[v6]: - [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface - [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options - [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1. - [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now get_init_pts_sb()) - devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries Changelog[v5]: - Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch - Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch) - Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000 (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount (defined in earlier patch, enabled here). - Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but /proc/mounts would imply that the option was set) Changelog[v4]: - Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments - Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token, CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE. - Move usage-details from patch description to Documentation/fs/devpts.txt Changelog[v3]: - Rename new mount option to 'newinstance' - Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts - Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().

* Define mknod_ptmx()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx, allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the devpts fs as /dev/pts/n. Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being accessed. So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx' node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option. Changelog[v5]: - [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So, hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also. - [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating ptmx node - [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx() wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this. Changelog[v4]: - Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000. - Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES. Changelog[v3]: - Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance') Changelog[v2]: - [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the ptmx node internally. Changelog[v1]: - Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not really necessary.

* n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_ttyJoe Peterson2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C) and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline. Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately written to the tty driver. The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output, since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written. Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks. Highlights are: * Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full - continuous program output can block echo * Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S) - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output) * Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not split up by interleaved program output * Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to the tty driver * Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson <joe@skyrush.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug description: The IRDA receiver may can't receiving any more after processed some signals. To duplicate this issue is put three IRDA devices together, one blackfin, two none blackfin, they will detect each other. Let one none blackfin devices irdaping the blackfin devices, when it stopped print out ping information, it is the time that blackfin stoped receiving, the time is random. The related register bit is OK, the other devices is sending data continuously. But no interrupt come. Fixing: I tried Michael's suggestion that request the UARTx error interrupt, and reset the IRDA when found FE error. This method helps much, but it can't completely avoid stop. Reset the IRDA before every time sending the data is more safe.

Also fix the comment for seq_path(), the function arguments changed recently but the comment hadn't been updated in sync.
