tty: ipwireless, cleanup TIOCGSERIAL

2016-06-25T15:56:30+00:00

In ipwireless_get_serial_info, struct serial_struct is memset to 0 and
then some members set to 0 explicitly.

Remove the latter as it is obviously superfluous.

And remove the retinfo check against NULL. copy_to_user will take care
of that.

Part of hub6 cleanup series.

tty: ipwireless: fix possible NULL dereference

2016-04-30T16:26:55+00:00

The function alloc_ctrl_packet() can fail and return NULL. Incase it
fails print an error message and exit.

ipwireless: missing assignment

We never report the error because we don't assign it to ret.

tty: ipwireless: Fix probable mask then right shift defects

2014-11-06T04:06:33+00:00

Precedence of & and >> is not the same and is not left to right.
shift has higher precedence and should be done after the mask.

Add parentheses around the masks.

tty: ipwireless: Remove tty->closing abort from ipw_open()

2014-07-10T23:06:49+00:00

tty->closing cannot be set on ipw_open() because the ipwireless tty
driver does not call any functions that set tty->closing.

tty: Fix low_latency BUG

2014-03-01T00:31:00+00:00

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. Cleanup stale code comments
regarding low_latency.

tty: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-08T01:05:21+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include .  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.
