tty: mxser: fix cycle termination condition in mxser_probe() and mxser_module_init()

2013-04-08T18:30:04+00:00

There is a bug in resources deallocation code in mxser_probe() and
mxser_module_init().  As soon as variable 'i' is unsigned int, cycle
termination condition i >= 0 is always true.  The patch fixes the issue.

tty: mxser: improve error handling in mxser_probe() and mxser_module_init()

2013-02-18T19:05:14+00:00

1. Currently mxser_probe() and mxser_module_init() ignore errors
that can happen in tty_port_register_device().
2. mxser_module_init() does not deallocate resources allocated in mxser_get_ISA_conf()
if mxser_initbrd() failed.

The patch adds proper error handling in all the cases.
Also it moves free_irq() from mxser_release_ISA_res() to mxser_board_remove(),
since it makes mxser_release_ISA_res() a counterpart for mxser_get_ISA_conf(),
while free_irq() is relevant to both ISA and PCI boards.

TTY: switch tty_flip_buffer_push

2013-01-16T06:30:15+00:00

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.

Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.

IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.

Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.

TTY: move low_latency to tty_port

2013-01-16T06:23:16+00:00

One point is to have less places where we actually need tty pointer.
The other is that low_latency is bound to buffer processing and
buffers are now in tty_port. So it makes sense to move low_latency to
tty_port too.

TTY: switch tty_insert_flip_char

2013-01-16T06:21:36+00:00

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.

tty_insert_flip_char is the next one to proceed. This one is used all
over the code, so the patch is huge.

tty: remove use of __devexit

2012-11-21T23:27:46+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option so __devexit is no
longer needed.

TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers

2012-11-16T01:20:58+00:00

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.

To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

serial: add a new helper function

2012-09-05T20:28:35+00:00

In most of the time, the driver needs to check if the cts flow control
is enabled. But now, the driver checks the ASYNC_CTS_FLOW flag manually,
which is not a grace way. So add a new wraper function to make the code
tidy and clean.
