5e6c20a93b isdn/capi warning fixes
drivers/isdn/capi/capi.c: In function 'handle_minor_send':
drivers/isdn/capi/capi.c:552: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

Of course, the code here might actually be buggy, in which case this patch
should not be applied?

Answer:

  No this field is ignored inside linux kernel.Yes this is ugly, but it's
  the CAPI spec for all OS.

  CAPI DATA_B3 Request/Indication CAPI Message has a mandatory field which
  represent the 32 bit buffer address of the payload data.  In linux the
  payload data do not use a sperate buffer, data follows directely after the
  CAPI Message in the same skb and we use this assumption inside the drivers,
  so we can ignore this field.

  Inside the linux CAPI implemetation we never use this field, so it could
  also have no value, but since random data in a message is bad as well (e.g.
  displayed in CAPI traces) we set is to the most adequate value.

  Outside the kernel the capi20 library sets the correct addresses (there is
  an optional second field for 64 bit adresses for 64 bit systems, we do not
  use here).

2b8693c061 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

053b47ff24 [PATCH] Workaround CAPI subsystem locking issue
I think the following patch should go into the kernel, until the ISDN/CAPI
guys create the real fix for this issue.

The issue is a concurrency issue with some internal CAPI data structure
which can crash the kernel.

On my FritzCard DSL with the AVM driver it crashes about once a day without
this workaround patch.  With this workaround patch it's rock-stable (at
least on UP, but I don't see why this shouldn't work on SMP as well.  But
maybe I'm missing something.)

This workaround is kind of a sledgehammer which inserts a global lock to
wrap around all the critical sections.  Of course, this is a scalability
issue, if you have many ISDN/CAPI cards.  But it prevents a crash.  So I
vote for this fix to get merged, until people come up with a better
solution.  Better have a stable kernel that's less scalable, than a
crashing and useless kernel.

This bug is in the kernel since 2.6.15 (at least).

606d099cdd [PATCH] tty: switch to ktermios
This is the grungy swap all the occurrences in the right places patch that
goes with the updates.  At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia

b68e31d0eb [PATCH] const struct tty_operations
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.

This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.

53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

That oops took me to the "ackqueue" implementation in capi.c.  The crash
occured in capincci_add_ack() (auto-inlined by the compiler).

I read the code a bit and finally decided to replace the custom linked list
implementation (struct capiminor->ackqueue) by a struct list_head.  That
did not solve the crash, but produced the following interresting oops:

The interresting part of it is the "virtual address 00200200", which is
LIST_POISON2.  I thought about some race condition, but as this is an UP
system, it leads to questions on how it can happen.  If we look at EFLAGS:
00010202, we see that interrupts are enabled at the time of the crash
(eflags & 0x200).

Finally, I don't understand all the capi code, but I think that
handle_minor_send() is racing somehow against capi_recv_message(), which
call both capiminor_del_ack().  So if an IRQ occurs in the middle of
capiminor_del_ack() and another instance of it is invoked, it leads to
linked list corruption.

I came up with the following patch.  With this, I could not reproduce the
crash anymore.  Clearly, this is not the correct fix for the issue.  As this
seems to be some locking issue, there might be more locking issues in that
code.  For example, doesn't the whole struct capiminor have to be locked
somehow?

33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.

This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.

When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.

For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).

Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.

The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.

I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.

Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real.  That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.

Description:

tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification].  It
does now also return the number of chars inserted

There are also

tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)

which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found.  This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.

and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)

to insert a string of characters and flags

For a smart interface the usual code is

    len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
    tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);

More description!

At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty.  This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)

I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers.  This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.

So far so good.  Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*.  Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides.  This will all
break.  Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.

At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say

 int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)

Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero).  At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative.  (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space.  The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.

 int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)

As before insert a character if there is room.  Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.

 int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)

Insert a block of non error characters.  Returns the number inserted.

 int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)

Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added.  Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available.  This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
