| 2020-08-23 | treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword | Gustavo A. R. Silva | |
| Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary fall-through markings when it is the case.

| 2018-12-05 | tty: Don't block on IO when ldisc change is pending | Dmitry Safonov | |
| There might be situations where tty_ldisc_lock() has blocked, but there is already IO on tty and it prevents line discipline changes. It might theoretically turn into dead-lock. Basically, provide more priority to pending tty_ldisc_lock() than to servicing reads/writes over tty. User-visible issue was reported by Mikulas where on pa-risc with Debian 5 reboot took either 80 seconds, 3 minutes or 3:25 after proper locking in tty_reopen().

| 2018-10-13 | change semantics of ldisc ->compat_ioctl() | Al Viro | |
| First of all, make it return int. Returning long when native method had never allowed that is ridiculous and inconvenient. More importantly, change the caller; if ldisc ->compat_ioctl() is NULL or returns -ENOIOCTLCMD, tty_compat_ioctl() will try to feed cmd and compat_ptr(arg) to ldisc's native ->ioctl(). That simplifies ->compat_ioctl() instances quite a bit - they only need to deal with ioctls that are neither generic tty ones (those would get shunted off to tty_ioctl()) nor simple compat pointer ones. Note that something like TCFLSH won't reach ->compat_ioctl(), even if ldisc ->ioctl() does handle it - it will be recognized earlier and passed to tty_ioctl() (and ultimately - ldisc ->ioctl()). For many ldiscs it means that NULL ->compat_ioctl() does the right thing. Those where it won't serve (see e.g. n_r3964.c) are also easily dealt with - we need to handle the numeric-argument ioctls (calling the native instance) and, if such would exist, the ioctls that need layout conversion, etc. All in-tree ldiscs dealt with.

| 2018-02-11 | vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement | Linus Torvalds | |
| This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done.

| 2017-11-21 | treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup() | Kees Cook | |
| This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes, since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following examples, in addition to some other variations. Casting from unsigned long: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr); and forced object casts: void my_callback(struct something *ptr) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr); become: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); Direct function assignments: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data; ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback; have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args: void my_callback(struct timer_list *t) { struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer); ... } ... ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback; And finally, callbacks without a data assignment: void my_callback(unsigned long data) { ... } ... setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion: void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused) { ... } ... timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0); The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script: spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \ -I ./arch/x86/include -I ./arch/x86/include/generated \ -I ./include -I ./arch/x86/include/uapi \ -I ./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I ./include/uapi \ -I ./include/generated/uapi --include ./include/linux/kconfig.h \ --dir . \ --cocci-file ~/src/data/timer_setup.cocci @fix_address_of@ expression e;

| 2017-11-08 | tty: Remove redundant license text | Greg Kroah-Hartman | |
| Now that the SPDX tag is in all tty files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

| It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

The tty core already provides serialization of concurrent writes to the same tty, and line discipline lifetime management (by ldisc references), so pinning the tty via tty_lock() is unnecessary and counter-productive; remove tty lock use. However, the line discipline is responsible for serializing reads (if required by the line discipline); add read_lock mutex to serialize calls of r3964_read().

| 2011-06-04 | Revert "tty: make receive_buf() return the amout of bytes received" | Linus Torvalds | |
| This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c. It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues. It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up"). It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the ->receive_buf() function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code, and didn't actually check for the error in the caller. And it didn't actually work at all. BenH bisected down odd tty behavior to it: "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X server for me, possibly related to PTYs. For example, cat'ing a large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace data in the quoted bits further down). ... Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer process that could have emptied the PTY." which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a. Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.
