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. Remove the list search when allocating a new flip buffer. Signed-off-by:

The char_buf_ptr and flag_buf_ptr values are trivially derived from the .data field offset; compute values as needed. Fixes a long-standing type-mismatch with the char and flag ptrs. Signed-off-by:

Scheduling buffer work on the same cpu as the read() thread limits the parallelism now possible between the receive_buf path and the n_tty_read() path. Signed-off-by:

The pty driver forces ldisc flow control on, regardless of available receive buffer space, so the writer can be woken whenever unthrottle is called. However, this 'forced throttle' has performance consequences, as multiple atomic operations are necessary to unthrottle and perform the write wakeup for every input line (in canonical mode). Instead, short-circuit the unthrottle if the tty is a pty and perform the write wakeup directly. Signed-off-by:

No tty driver modifies termios during throttle() or unthrottle(). Therefore, only read safety is required. However, tty_throttle_safe and tty_unthrottle_safe must still be mutually exclusive; introduce throttle_mutex for that purpose. Signed-off-by:

lnext escapes the next input character as a literal, and must be reset when canonical mode changes (to avoid misinterpreting a special character as a literal if canonical mode is changed back again). lnext is specifically not reset on a buffer flush so as to avoid misinterpreting the next input character as a special character.

n_tty has a single-producer/single-consumer input model; use lockless publish instead. Use termios_rwsem to exclude both consumer and producer while changing or resetting buffer indices, eg., when flushing. Also, claim exclusive termios_rwsem to safely retrieve the buffer indices from a thread other than consumer or producer (eg., TIOCINQ ioctl). Note the read_tail is published _after_ clearing the newline indicator in read_flags to avoid racing the producer. Drop read_lock spinlock. Signed-off-by:

canon_data represented the # of lines which had been copied to the receive buffer but not yet copied to the user buffer. The value was tested to determine if input was available in canonical mode (and also to force input overrun if the receive buffer was full but a newline had not been received). However, the actual count was irrelevent; only whether it was non-zero (meaning 'is there any input to transfer?'). This shared count is unnecessary and unsafe with a lockless algorithm. The same check is made by comparing canon_head with read_tail instead. Signed-off-by:

Use termios_rwsem to guarantee safe access to the termios values. This is particularly important for N_TTY as changing certain termios settings alters the mode of operation. termios_rwsem must be dropped across throttle/unthrottle since those functions claim the termios_rwsem exclusively (to guarantee safe access to the termios and for mutual exclusion).

Storing the read_cnt creates an unnecessary shared variable between the single-producer (n_tty_receive_buf()) and the single-consumer (n_tty_read()). Compute read_cnt from head & tail instead of storing. Signed-off-by:

Wrap read_buf indices (read_head, read_tail, canon_head) at max representable value, instead of at the N_TTY_BUF_SIZE. This step is necessary to allow lockless reads of these shared variables (by updating the variables atomically). Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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:

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.

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks that I think it's time to actually make some progress. The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths. However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows 8 compatibility. [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause problems to show up elsewhere ] Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel likes that part). The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu. The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by GUI. Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid backlight control problems in the future. - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.

When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug. The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in inode_init_always(). We can use the following program to trigger it: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666); if (fd < 0) { perror("open "); return -1; } close(fd); return 0; } The oops message looks like this: kernel: kernel BUG at fs/ext3/namei.c:1992! kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP kernel: Modules linked in: ext4 jbd2 crc16 cpufreq_ondemand ipv6 dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod parport_pc parport serio_raw sg dcdbas pcspkr i2c_i801 ehci_pci ehci_hcd button acpi_cpufreq mperf e1000e ptp pps_core ttm drm_kms_helper drm hwmon i2c_algo_bit i2c_core ext3 jbd sd_mod ahci libahci libata scsi_mod uhci_hcd kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 2882 Comm: tst_tmpfile Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1+ #4 kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.

Pull staging tree fixes from Greg KH: "Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in through this tree. I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers who originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR still will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver pretty much obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now prevents people from sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that will never go anywhere.
