Linus Torvalds 974668417b driver core patches for 4.13-rc1
Here is the big driver core update for 4.13-rc1.
 
 The large majority of this is a lot of cleanup of old fields in the
 driver core structures and their remaining usages in random drivers.
 All of those fixes have been reviewed by the various subsystem
 maintainers.  There's also some small firmware updates in here, a new
 kobject uevent api interface that makes userspace interaction easier,
 and a few other minor things.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a long while with no reported
 issues.

Peter Hurley 79c1faa451 tty: Remove tty_wait_until_sent_from_close()
tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting
for the tty driver to finish sending previously accepted data (ie.,
data remaining in its write buffer and transmit fifo).

tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() was added by commit a57a7bf3fc
("TTY: define tty_wait_until_sent_from_close") to prevent the entire
tty subsystem from being unable to open new ttys while waiting for
one tty to close while output drained.

However, since commit 0911261d4c ("tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty
count changes"), holding a tty lock while closing does not prevent other
ttys from being opened/closed/hung up, but only prevents lifetime event
changes for the tty under lock.

Holding the tty lock while waiting for output to drain does prevent
parallel non-blocking opens (O_NONBLOCK) from advancing or returning
while the tty lock is held. However, all parallel opens _already_
block even if the tty lock is dropped while closing and the parallel
open advances. Blocking in open has been in mainline since at least 2.6.29
(see tty_port_block_til_ready(); note the test for O_NONBLOCK is _after_
the wait while ASYNC_CLOSING).

IOW, before this patch a non-blocking open will sleep anyway for the
_entire_ duration of a parallel hardware shutdown, and when it wakes, the
error return will cause a release of its tty, and it will restart with
a fresh attempt to open. Similarly with a blocking open that is already
waiting; when it's woken, the hardware shutdown has already completed
to ASYNC_INITIALIZED is not set, which forces a release and restart as
well.

So, holding the tty lock across the _entire_ close (which is what this
patch does), even while waiting for output to drain, is equivalent to
the current outcome wrt parallel opens.

Jiri Slaby 2e124b4a39 TTY: switch tty_flip_buffer_push
Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.

Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.

IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.

Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it

Checking if tty->index is in bounds is not needed. The tty has the
index set in the initial open. This is done in get_tty_driver. And it

So remove the tests which check exactly this interval. Some are
left untouched as they check against the current backing device count.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt c7704d352d powerpc/pseries: Reduce HVCS driver insanity
The HVCS driver, for those who don't know, is a driver for the "server" side
of the IBM virtual terminal mechanism allowing Linux partitions to act as
terminal servers under IBM PowerVM hypervisor. It's almost never used on
the field at the moment.

However, it's part of our configs, and in its current incarnation, will
allocate the tty driver & major (with 64 minors) and create a kernel thread
whether it's used or not, ie, whether the hypervisor did put a virtual
terminal server device node in the partition or not (or whether running on
a pseries machine or not even).

This in turns causes modern distro's udev's to start trying to open all
those 64 minors at boot, which, since they aren't linked to anything,
causes the driver to spew errors in the kernel log for each of them.

Not nice.

This moves all that initialization to a function which is now only called
the first time a terminal server virtual IO device is actually probed
(that is almost never).

There's still a _LOT_ of cleanup that can be done in this driver, some
simple (almost all printk's statements in there shall either just be
removed or in some case turned into better written & more informative
messages, including using the dev_* variants etc...). This is left as
an exercise for whoever actually cares about that driver.

One could also try to be smart and dispose of all the tty related
resources when the last instance of the VIO server device
is removed (Hotplug anybody ?).

Greg Kroah-Hartman 728674a7e4 tty: move hvc drivers to drivers/tty/hvc/
As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory.  The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.
