10 years agotty: Fix lock order in tty_do_resize()
Peter Hurley [Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:43:51 +0000 (16:43 -0400)]
tty: Fix lock order in tty_do_resize()

Commits 6a1c0680cf3ba94356ecd58833e1540c93472a57 and
9356b535fcb71db494fc434acceb79f56d15bda2, respectively
  'tty: Convert termios_mutex to termios_rwsem' and
  'n_tty: Access termios values safely'
introduced a circular lock dependency with console_lock and
termios_rwsem.

The lockdep report [1] shows that n_tty_write() will attempt
to claim console_lock while holding the termios_rwsem, whereas
tty_do_resize() may already hold the console_lock while
claiming the termios_rwsem.

Since n_tty_write() and tty_do_resize() do not contend
over the same data -- the tty->winsize structure -- correct
the lock dependency by introducing a new lock which
specifically serializes access to tty->winsize only.

10 years agotty: Remove extra wakeup from pty write() path
Peter Hurley [Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:29:57 +0000 (08:29 -0400)]
tty: Remove extra wakeup from pty write() path

Acquiring the write_wait queue spin lock now accounts for the largest
slice of cpu time on the tty write path. Two factors contribute to
this situation; a overly-pessimistic line discipline write loop which
_always_ sets up a wait loop even if i/o will immediately succeed, and
on ptys, a wakeup storm from reads and writes.

Writer wakeup does not need to be performed by the pty driver.
Firstly, since the actual i/o is performed within the write, the
line discipline write loop will continue while space remains in
the flip buffers. Secondly, when space becomes avail in the
line discipline receive buffer (and thus also in the flip buffers),
the pty unthrottle re-wakes the writer (non-flow-controlled line
disciplines unconditionally unthrottle the driver when data is
received). Thus, existing in-kernel i/o is guaranteed to advance.
Finally, writer wakeup occurs at the conclusion of the line discipline
write (in tty_write_unlock()). This guarantees that any user-space write
waiters are woken to continue additional i/o.

n_tty: Fix EOF push handling

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.

The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.

Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

tty: Only guarantee termios read safety for throttle/unthrottle

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.

tty: Make ldisc input flow control concurrency-friendly

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.

safe here because;
* __tty_buffer_flush() is prevented from running while buffer work

  least one buffer is always left in the list after use)
Access to the read index outside the spinlock is safe here for the
