Hi Greg, Changes since v1: 1. Omits v1 patches 1-12 which you already applied 2. Depends on 'locking: Add WARN_ON_ONCE lock assertion', which replaces v1 patch 13 3. Works around Alpha EV4/5 non-atomic byte/short storage 4. Works around gcc bug in versions < 4.7.2, where bitfield stores can corrupt adjacent storage on ia64, ppc64, sparc64 and 64-bit parisc arches https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52080 v1: This patch series reworks the internals of tty and serial flow control to fix multiple races in both START/STOP flow control and RTS/CTS flow control. The main changes in this series are: Patch 2 (v1 patch 15) Rename and move ASYNC_CTS_FLOW and ASYNC_CHECK_CD statuses into a private field for the serial core, and add helper functions to test those statuses for UART drivers. This is a necessary step toward making tty port->flags SMP-safe, without introducing a new lock. Patches 1, 4 and 8 (v1 patches 14, 17 and 21) Make CTS flow control state SMP-safe, by moving hw_stopped into a private field of the serial core. Patches 9-11 (v1 patches 22-24) Make tty flow control changes mutually exclusive. Protecting tty->stopped and tty->flow_stopped with a new spin lock (instead of the ->ctrl_lock) is required to fix multiple races with controlling terminal changes, coming in a follow-on patch series. Patches 12 & 13 (v1 patches 25 & 26) Cleanup tcflow(TCIxxx) Regards, Peter Hurley (14): serial: core: Document and assert lock requirements for irq helpers serial: core: Privatize modem status enable flags isdn: i4l: Remove ASYNC_CTS_FLOW serial: core: Privatize tty->hw_stopped usb: serial: Remove unused tty->hw_stopped serial: bfin-uart: Fix auto CTS serial: core: Use spin_lock_irq() in uart_set_termios() tty: Convert tty_struct bitfield to ints tty: Serialize tty flow control changes with flow_lock tty: Move packet mode flow control notifications to pty driver tty: Serialize tcflow() with other tty flow control changes tty: Move and rename send_prio_char() as tty_send_xchar() tty: Hold termios_rwsem for tcflow(TCIxxx) tty: Workaround Alpha non-atomic byte storage in tty_struct drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_tty.c | 5 -- drivers/tty/pty.c | 41 +++++++++++++++ drivers/tty/serial/bfin_uart.c | 15 +++--- drivers/tty/serial/mxs-auart.c | 2 +- drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c | 70 +++++++++++++++----------- drivers/tty/tty_io.c | 93 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------- drivers/tty/tty_ioctl.c | 47 +++++------------- drivers/usb/serial/digi_acceleport.c | 7 +-- drivers/usb/serial/io_ti.c | 7 +-- drivers/usb/serial/ti_usb_3410_5052.c | 7 +-- include/linux/serial_core.h | 15 +++++- include/linux/tty.h | 15 ++++-- include/linux/tty_driver.h | 4 ++ 13 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 135 deletions(-) -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
