This makes all those 'char's an explicit 'u8'. This is part of the
continuing unification of chars and flags to be consistent u8.

This approaches tty_port_default_receive_buf().

Note that we do not change signedness as we compile with
-funsigned-char.

Count passed to tty_ldisc_ops::receive_buf*(), ::lookahead_buf(), and
returned from ::receive_buf2() is expected to be size_t. So set it to
size_t to unify with the rest of the code.

Since commit
   baebdf48c3600 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.")

the function netif_rx() can be used in preemptible/thread context as
well as in interrupt context.

Use netif_rx().

<content type='text'>
Syzbot reported memory leak in tty_init_dev().
The problem was in unputted tty in ldisc_open()

static int ldisc_open(struct tty_struct *tty)
{
...
	ser-&gt;tty = tty_kref_get(tty);
...
	result = register_netdevice(dev);
	if (result) {
		rtnl_unlock();
		free_netdev(dev);
		return -ENODEV;
	}
...
}

Ser pointer is netdev private_data, so after free_netdev()
this pointer goes away with unputted tty reference. So, fix
it by adding tty_kref_put() before freeing netdev.

<title>net: caif: remove BUG_ON(dev == NULL) in caif_xmit</title>
<updated>2021-05-13T15:30:41+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=65a67792e3416f7c5d7daa47d99334cbb19a7449'/>
<id>65a67792e3416f7c5d7daa47d99334cbb19a7449</id>
<content type='text'>
The condition of dev == NULL is impossible in caif_xmit(), hence it is
for the removal.

Explanation:
The static caif_xmit() is only called upon via a function pointer
`ndo_start_xmit` defined in include/linux/netdevice.h:
```
struct net_device_ops {
    ...
    netdev_tx_t     (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev);
    ...
}
```

The exhausive list of call points are:
```
drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet/rmnet_map_command.c
    dev-&gt;netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
    ^                                    ^

drivers/infiniband/ulp/opa_vnic/opa_vnic_netdev.c
    struct opa_vnic_adapter *adapter = opa_vnic_priv(netdev);
			     ^                       ^
    return adapter-&gt;rn_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, netdev); // adapter would crash first
	   ^                                    ^

drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_ncm.c
    ncm-&gt;netdev-&gt;netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(NULL, ncm-&gt;netdev);
	      ^                                   ^

include/linux/netdevice.h
static inline netdev_tx_t __netdev_start_xmit(...
{
    return ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
				    ^
}

    const struct net_device_ops *ops = dev-&gt;netdev_ops;
				       ^
    rc = __netdev_start_xmit(ops, skb, dev, more);
				       ^
```

In each of the enumerated scenarios, it is impossible for the NULL-valued dev to
reach the caif_xmit() without crashing the kernel earlier, therefore `BUG_ON(dev ==
NULL)` is rather useless, hence the removal.

```
struct net_device_ops {
    ...
    netdev_tx_t     (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev);
    ...
}
```

The exhausive list of call points are:
```
drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet/rmnet_map_command.c
    dev-&gt;netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
    ^                                    ^

drivers/infiniband/ulp/opa_vnic/opa_vnic_netdev.c
    struct opa_vnic_adapter *adapter = opa_vnic_priv(netdev);
			     ^                       ^
    return adapter-&gt;rn_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, netdev); // adapter would crash first
	   ^                                    ^

drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_ncm.c
    ncm-&gt;netdev-&gt;netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(NULL, ncm-&gt;netdev);
	      ^                                   ^

include/linux/netdevice.h
static inline netdev_tx_t __netdev_start_xmit(...
{
    return ops-&gt;ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev);
				    ^
}

    const struct net_device_ops *ops = dev-&gt;netdev_ops;
				       ^
    rc = __netdev_start_xmit(ops, skb, dev, more);
				       ^
```

In each of the enumerated scenarios, it is impossible for the NULL-valued dev to
reach the caif_xmit() without crashing the kernel earlier, therefore `BUG_ON(dev ==
NULL)` is rather useless, hence the removal.

This reverts commit c5dea815834c7d2e9fc633785455bc428b7a1956.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original change here was pointless as dev can never be NULL in this
function so the claim in the changelog that this "fixes" anything is
incorrect (also the developer forgot about panic_on_warn).  A follow-up
change will resolve this issue properly.

Make tty_unregister_ldisc symmetric to tty_register_ldisc by accepting
struct tty_ldisc_ops as a parameter instead of ldisc number. This avoids
checking of the ldisc number bounds in tty_unregister_ldisc.

<title>tty: set tty_ldisc_ops::num statically</title>

There is no reason to pass the ldisc number to tty_register_ldisc
separately. Just set it in the already defined tty_ldisc_ops in all the
ldiscs.

This simplifies tty_register_ldisc a bit too (no need to set the num
member there).
