pty: Fix input race when closing A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO) after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read. For example, pty slave | input worker | pty master | | | | n_tty_read() pty_write() | | input avail? no add data | | sleep schedule worker --->| | . |---> flush_to_ldisc() | . pty_close() | fill read buffer | . wait for worker | wakeup reader --->| . | read buffer full? |---> input avail ? yes |<--- yes - exit worker | copy 4096 bytes to user TTY_OTHER_CLOSED <---| |<--- kick worker | | **** New read() before worker starts **** | | n_tty_read() | | input avail? no | | TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes | | return -EIO Several conditions are required to trigger this race: 1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits 2. the read() count parameter must be >= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer is empty 3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed more input However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end are visible to the pty master end immediately. Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader. 1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when TTY_OTHER_DONE is set. 2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED. 3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to exit). Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

tty: Fix low_latency BUG The user-settable knob, low_latency, has been the source of several BUG reports which stem from flush_to_ldisc() running in interrupt context. Since 3.12, which added several sleeping locks (termios_rwsem and buf->lock) to the input processing path, the frequency of these BUG reports has increased. Note that changes in 3.12 did not introduce this regression; sleeping locks were first added to the input processing path with the removal of the BKL from N_TTY in commit a88a69c91256418c5907c2f1f8a0ec0a36f9e6cc, 'n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty' and later in commit 38db89799bdf11625a831c5af33938dcb11908b6, 'tty: throttling race fix'. Since those changes, executing flush_to_ldisc() in interrupt_context (ie, low_latency set), is unsafe. However, since most devices do not validate if the low_latency setting is appropriate for the context (process or interrupt) in which they receive data, some reports are due to misconfiguration. Further, serial dma devices for which dma fails, resort to interrupt receiving as a backup without resetting low_latency. Historically, low_latency was used to force wake-up the reading process rather than wait for the next scheduler tick. The effect was to trim multiple milliseconds of latency from when the process would receive new data. Recent tests [1] have shown that the reading process now receives data with only 10's of microseconds latency without low_latency set. Remove the low_latency rx steering from tty_flip_buffer_push(); however, leave the knob as an optional hint to drivers that can tune their rx fifos and such like.

tty: Fix low_latency BUG The user-settable knob, low_latency, has been the source of several BUG reports which stem from flush_to_ldisc() running in interrupt context. Since 3.12, which added several sleeping locks (termios_rwsem and buf->lock) to the input processing path, the frequency of these BUG reports has increased. Note that changes in 3.12 did not introduce this regression; sleeping locks were first added to the input processing path with the removal of the BKL from N_TTY in commit a88a69c91256418c5907c2f1f8a0ec0a36f9e6cc, 'n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty' and later in commit 38db89799bdf11625a831c5af33938dcb11908b6, 'tty: throttling race fix'. Since those changes, executing flush_to_ldisc() in interrupt_context (ie, low_latency set), is unsafe. However, since most devices do not validate if the low_latency setting is appropriate for the context (process or interrupt) in which they receive data, some reports are due to misconfiguration. Further, serial dma devices for which dma fails, resort to interrupt receiving as a backup without resetting low_latency. Historically, low_latency was used to force wake-up the reading process rather than wait for the next scheduler tick. The effect was to trim multiple milliseconds of latency from when the process would receive new data. Recent tests [1] have shown that the reading process now receives data with only 10's of microseconds latency without low_latency set. Remove the low_latency rx steering from tty_flip_buffer_push(); however, leave the knob as an optional hint to drivers that can tune their rx fifos and such like.
