Amit Shah 291024ef35 virtio: console: Ignore port name update request if name already set
We don't allow port name changes dynamically for a port.  So any
requests by the host to change the name are ignored.

Before this patch, if the hypervisor sent a port name while we had one
set already, we would leak memory equivalent to the size of the old
name.

This scenario wasn't expected so far, but with the suspend-resume
support, we'll send the VIRTIO_CONSOLE_PORT_READY message after restore,
which can get us into this situation.

Amit Shah afa2689e19 virtio: console: Enable call to hvc_remove() on console port remove
This call was disabled as hot-unplugging one virtconsole port led to
another virtconsole port freezing.

Upon testing it again, this now works, so enable it.

In addition, a bug was found in qemu wherein removing a port of one type
caused the guest output from another port to stop working.  I doubt it
was just this bug that caused it (since disabling the hvc_remove() call
did allow other ports to continue working), but since it's all solved
now, we're fine with hot-unplugging of virtconsole ports.

Amit Shah d7a62cd033 virtio: console: Don't access vqs if device was unplugged
If a virtio-console device gets unplugged while a port is open, a
subsequent close() call on the port accesses vqs to free up buffers.
This can lead to a crash.

The buffers are already freed up as a result of the call to
unplug_ports() from virtcons_remove().  The fix is to simply not access
vq information if port->portdev is NULL.

Amit Shah b353a6b821 virtio: console: Add reference counting for port struct
When a port got hot-unplugged, when a port was open, any file operation
after the unplugging resulted in a crash. This is fixed by ref-counting
the port structure, and releasing it only when the file is closed.

This splits the unplug operation in two parts: first marks the port
as unavailable, removes all the buffers in the vqs and removes the port
from the per-device list of ports. The second stage, invoked when all
references drop to zero, releases the chardev and frees all other memory.

If the host is slow in reading data or doesn't read data at all,
blocking write calls not only blocked the program that called write()
but the entire guest itself.

To overcome this, let's not block till the host signals it has given
back the virtio ring element we passed it.  Instead, send the buffer to
the host and return to userspace.  This operation then becomes similar
to how non-blocking writes work, so let's use the existing code for this
path as well.

This code change also ensures blocking write calls do get blocked if
there's not enough room in the virtio ring as well as they don't return
-EAGAIN to userspace.

Hans de Goede 6df7aadcd9 virtio: console: Fix poll blocking even though there is data to read
I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was
seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even
though there were messages queued up there.

virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine
if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from
inbuf through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf,
port->inbuf will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the
virtqueue.

This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read,
this patch fixes this by using will_read_block(port) instead of the
port->inbuf != NULL check.

Julia Lawall 0643e4c6e4 drivers/char: Eliminate use after free
In each case, the first argument to send_control_msg or __send_control_msg,
respectively, has either not been successfully allocated or has been freed
at the point of the call.  In the first case, the first argument, port, is
only used to access the portdev and id fields, in order to call
__send_control_msg.  Thus it seems possible instead to call
__send_control_msg directly.  In the second case, the call to
__send_control_msg is moved up to a place where it seems like the first
argument, portdev, has been initialized sufficiently to make the call to
__send_control_msg meaningful.

This has only been compile tested.

We now no longer need the 'nr_ports' config value. Since no kernel has
been released with the MULTIPORT changes yet, we have a chance to fiddle
with the config space without adding compatibility features.

This is beneficial for management software, which would now be able to
instantiate ports at known locations and avoid problems that arise with
implicit numbering in the host and the guest. This removes the 'guessing
game' part of it, and management software can now actually indicate
which id to spawn a particular port on.

of a poll operation, we will return -EPIPE and the hvc_console code will
then do the necessary cleanup.

This call will be restored when the bug in hvc_remove() is found and
fixed.

Amit Shah eaeff9608a virtio: console: Let host know of port or device add failures
The host may want to know and let management apps notify of port or
device add failures. Send a control message saying the device or port is
not ready in this case.

Amit Shah 3425e706bf virtio: console: Add a __send_control_msg() that can send messages without a valid port
We will introduce control messages that operate on the device as a whole
rather than just ports. Make send_control_msg() a wrapper around
__send_control_msg() which does not need a valid port.

Amit Shah b99fa815d7 virtio: Revert "virtio: disable multiport console support."
This reverts commit b7a413015d.

Multiport support was disabled for 2.6.34 because we wanted to introduce
a new ABI and since we didn't have any released kernel with the older
ABI and were out of the merge window, it didn't make sense keeping the
older ABI around.

Now we revert the patch disabling multiport and rework the ABI in the
following patches.
