The N_TTY ldisc layer does not send SIGIO POLL_OUTs correctly when output is
possible due to flawed handling of the TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP bit. It will
either send no SIGIOs at all or on every tty wakeup.The fix is to set the bit when the tty driver write would block and test
and clear it on write wakeup.[Merged with existing N_TTY patches and a small buglet fixed -- Alan]

The underlying problem is that the device methods don't all correctly
handle disconnected status and some keep reporting bytes pending which
causes tcdrain to stall.When the cable is unplugged they are definitely gone, and as this is true
for all USB cables we can fix it in the core usb serial code.Signed-off-by: Alan Cox

The PCI-card identified as "Oxford Semiconductor Ltd EXSYS EX-41092 Dual
16950 Serial adapter" is only usable with other devices (i.e. not the same
card) after doing a "setserial /dev/ttyS baud_base 115200". This
baud_base should be default for this card.Signed-off-by: Niels de Vos

Switch generic_serial to do port count locking via the tty_port structure
ready for moving to a common port wait routine. Keep the old driver lock for
internal calling so we don't risk messing up the drivers below until we

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.Signed-off-by: David Howells

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.

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.Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
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.Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson

Changelog [v2]:
- Add note indicating strict isolation is not possible unless all
mounts of devpts use the 'newinstance' mount option.Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Signed-off-by: Alan Cox
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
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 devptsTo 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 1234where '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 dentriesChangelog[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.txtChangelog[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().
(restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this)Changelog[v2]:

provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
/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]:

well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not

With support for multiple mounts of devpts, the 'config' structure really

To enable multiple mounts of devpts, 'allocated_ptys' must be a per-mount
