2014-11-05tty: Preset lock subclass for nested tty locksPeter Hurley
Eliminate the requirement of specifying the tty lock nesting at lock time; instead, set the lock subclass for slave ptys at pty install (normal ttys and master ptys use subclass 0). Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2014-11-05tty: Change tty lock order to master->slavePeter Hurley
When releasing the master pty, the slave pty also needs to be locked to prevent concurrent tty count changes for the slave pty and to ensure that only one parallel master and slave release observe the final close, and proceed to destruct the pty pair. Conversely, when releasing the slave pty, locking the master pty is not necessary (since the master's state can be inferred by the slave tty count). Introduce tty_lock_slave()/tty_unlock_slave() which acquires/releases the tty lock of the slave pty. Remove tty_lock_pair()/tty_unlock_pair(). Dropping the tty_lock is no longer required to re-establish a stable lock order.

The termios and other changes mean the other protections needed on the driver tty arrays should be adequate. Turn it all back on.

2012-07-16tty: revert incorrectly applied lock patchAlan Cox
I sent GregKH this after the pre-requisites. He dropped the pre-requesites for good reason and unfortunately then applied this patch. Without this reverted you get random kernel memory corruption which will make bisecting anything between it and the properly applied patches a complete sod.

2012-06-02tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more workLinus Torvalds
This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery. The main revert is d29f3ef39be4 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get reverted here. The list of reverted commits is: fde86d310886 - tty: add lockdep annotations 8f6576ad476b - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace d3ca8b64b97e - pty: Fix lock inversion b1d679afd766 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup abcefe5fc357 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock() fd11b42e3598 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call d29f3ef39be4 - tty_lock: Localise the lock The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver that got removed in the meantime.

2012-05-31tty: add lockdep annotationsEric Dumazet
tty_lock_pair() do the right thing to avoid deadlocks, but should instruct LOCKDEP of this to avoid a splat. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-05-04tty_lock: Localise the lockAlan Cox
In each remaining case the tty_lock is associated with a specific tty. This means we can now lock on a per tty basis. We do need tty_lock_pair() for the pty case. Uglier but still a step in the right direction.

2011-08-23TTY: remove tty_lockedJiri Slaby
We used it really only serial and ami_serial. The rest of the callsites were BUG/WARN_ONs to check if BTM is held. Now that we pruned tty_locked from both of the real users, we can get rid of tty_lock along with __big_tty_mutex_owner.
