Lets remove the traces of modularity we can so that when reading the

A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO)
after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read.
For example,
pty slave | input worker | pty master
| |
| | n_tty_read()
pty_write() | | input avail? no
add data | | sleep
schedule worker --->| | .
|---> flush_to_ldisc() | .
pty_close() | fill read buffer | .
wait for worker | wakeup reader --->| .
| read buffer full? |---> input avail ? yes
|<--- yes - exit worker | copy 4096 bytes to user
TTY_OTHER_CLOSED <---| |<--- kick worker
| |
**** New read() before worker starts ****
| | n_tty_read()
| | input avail? no
| | TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes
| | return -EIO
Several conditions are required to trigger this race:
1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits
2. the read() count parameter must be >= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer
is empty
3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed
more input
However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while
tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not
yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end
are visible to the pty master end immediately.
Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader.
1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when
TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or
input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when
TTY_OTHER_DONE is set.
2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.
3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting
TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be
set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to
exit).
Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

BRKINT and ISIG requires input and output flush when a signal char
is received. However, the order of operations is significant since
parallel i/o may be ongoing.
Merge the signal handling for BRKINT with ISIG handling.
Process the signal first. This ensures any ongoing i/o is aborted;
without this, a waiting writer may continue writing after the flush
occurs and after the signal char has been echoed.
Write lock the termios_rwsem, which excludes parallel writers from
pushing new i/o until after the output buffers are flushed; claiming
the write lock is necessary anyway to exclude parallel readers while
the read buffer is flushed.
Subclass the termios_rwsem for ptys since the slave pty performing
the flush may appear to reorder the termios_rwsem->tty buffer lock
lock order; adding annotation clarifies that
slave tty_buffer lock-> slave termios_rwsem -> master tty_buffer lock
is a valid lock order.
Flush the echo buffer. In this context, the echo buffer is 'output'.
Otherwise, the output will appear discontinuous because the output buffer
was cleared which contains older output than the echo buffer.
Open-code the read buffer flush since the input worker does not need
kicking (this is the input worker).

The pty driver does not clear its write buffer when commanded.
This is to avoid an apparent deadlock between parallel flushes from
both pty ends; specifically when handling either BRK or INTR input.
However, parallel flushes from this source is not possible since
the pty master can never be set to BRKINT or ISIG. Parallel flushes
from other sources are possible but these do not threaten deadlocks.
Annotate the tty buffer mutex for lockdep to represent the nested
tty_buffer locking which occurs when the pty slave is processing input
(its buffer mutex held) and receives INTR or BRK and acquires the
linked tty buffer mutex via tty_buffer_flush().

When releasing one end of a pty pair, that end may just have written
to the other, which the input processing worker, flush_to_ldisc(), is
still working on but has not completed the copy to the other end's
read buffer. So input may not appear to be available to a waiting
reader but yet TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is now observed. The n_tty line
discipline has worked around this by waiting for input processing
to complete and then re-checking if input is available before
exiting with -EIO.
Since the tty/ldisc lock reordering, the wait for input processing
to complete can now occur during final close before setting
TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. In this way, a waiting reader is guaranteed to
see input available (if any) before observing TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.

Opening the slave BSD pty first already returns -EIO from the slave
pty_open(), which in turn causes the newly installed tty pair to be
released before returning from tty_open(). However, this can also
cause a parallel master BSD pty open to fail because the pty pair
destruction may already been taking place in tty_release().
Failing at driver->install() if the slave pty is opened first ensures
that a pty master open cannot fail, because the driver tables will
not have been updated so tty_driver_lookup_tty() won't find the
master pty (and attempt to "re-open" it).
In turn, this guarantees that any tty with a tty->count == 0 is
in final close (rather than never opened).

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.

We first tried to avoid updating atime/mtime entirely (commit

limited it to only update it occasionally (commit 37b7f3c76595: "TTY:

insufficient and overkill.
It was insufficient because we let people attach to the shared ptmx node
to see activity without even reading atime/mtime, and it was overkill
because the "only once a minute" means that you can't really tell an
idle person from an active one with 'w'.
So this tries to fix the problem properly. It marks the shared ptmx
node as un-notifiable, and it lowers the "only once a minute" to a few
seconds instead - still long enough that you can't time individual
keystrokes, but short enough that you can tell whether somebody is

Now that login from util-linux is forced to drop all references to a
TTY which it wants to hangup (to reach reference count 1) we are
seeing issues with telnet. When login closes its last reference to the
slave PTY, it also resets packet mode on the *master* side. And we
have a race here.
What telnet does is fork+exec of `login'. Then there are two
scenarios:
* `login' closes the slave TTY and resets thus master's packet mode,
but even now telnet properly sets the mode, or
* `telnetd' sets packet mode on the master, `login' closes the slave
TTY and resets master's packet mode.
The former case is OK. However the latter happens in much more cases,
by the order of magnitude to be precise. So when one tries to login to
such a messed telnet setup, they see the following:
inux login:
ogin incorrect
Note the missing first letters -- telnet thinks it is still in the
packet mode, so when it receives "linux login" from `login', it
considers "l" as the type of the packet and strips it.
SuS does not mention how the implementation should behave. Both BSDs I
checked (Free and Net) do not reset the flag upon the last close.
By this I am resurrecting an old bug, see References. We are hitting
it regularly now, i.e. with updated util-linux, ergo login.
Here, I am changing a behavior introduced back in 2.1 times. It would
better have a long time testing before goes upstream.

The goal is to stop setting and using tty->driver_data in devpts code.
It should be used solely by the driver's code, pty in this case.
For the cleanup of layering, we will need the inode created in
devpts_pty_new to be stored into slave's driver_data. So we convert
devpts_pty_new to return the inode or an ERR_PTR-encoded error in case
of failure.
The move of 'inode = new_inode(sb);' from declarators to the code is
only cosmetical, but it makes the code easier to read.

First, here we remove TTY from devpts_get_tty and rename it to
devpts_get_priv. Note we do not remove type safety, we just shift the
[implicit] (void *) cast one layer up.
index was unused in devpts_get_tty, so remove that from the prototype
too.
