We should not be doing assignments within an if () block
so fix up the code to not do this.

<title>tty: Remove tty_hung_up_p() tests from tty drivers' open()</title>

Since at least before 2.6.30, it has not been possible to observe
a hung up file pointer in a tty driver's open() method unless/until
the driver open() releases the tty_lock() (eg., before blocking).

This is because tty_open() adds the file pointer while holding
the tty_lock() _and_ doesn't release the lock until after calling
the tty driver's open() method. [ Before tty_lock(), this was
lock_kernel(). ]

Since __tty_hangup() first waits on the tty_lock() before
enumerating and hanging up the open file pointers, either
__tty_hangup() will wait for the tty_lock() or tty_open() will
not yet have added the file pointer. For example,

CPU 0                          |  CPU 1
                               |
tty_open                       |  __tty_hangup
  ..                           |    ..
  tty_lock                     |    ..
  tty_reopen                   |    tty_lock  / blocks
  ..                           |
  tty_add_file(tty, filp)      |
  ..                           |
  tty-&gt;ops-&gt;open(tty, filp)    |
    tty_port_open              |
      tty_port_block_til_ready |
        ..                     |
        while (1)              |
          ..                   |
          tty_unlock           |    / unblocks
          schedule             |    for each filp on tty-&gt;tty_files
                               |      f_ops = tty_hung_up_fops;
                               |    ..
                               |    tty_unlock
          tty_lock             |
  ..                           |
  tty_unlock                   |

Note that since tty_port_block_til_ready() and similar drop
the tty_lock while blocking, when woken, the file pointer
must then be tested for having been hung up.

Also, fix bit-rotted drivers that used extra_count to track the
port-&gt;count bump.

<title>tty: synclink: avoid sleep_on race</title>

The four variants of the synclink driver use the same code in their
open() callback to wait for a port in process of being closed,
using interruptible_sleep_on, which is racy and going away soon.

Making things worse, these functions hold the BTM while doing so,
which means that if we ever enter this code path, we cannot actually
continue since the other thread that is in process of closing the
port can no longer get the BTM.

This addresses both issues by using wait_event_interruptible_tty()
instead.

Make sure to check ASYNC_INITIALISED before raising DTR when waking up
from blocked open in block_til_ready.

Currently DTR could get raised at hang up as a blocked process would
raise DTR unconditionally before checking for hang up and returning.

<title>TTY: synclink: Convert + to | for bit operations</title>

Dan Carpenter noticed a missing set of parentheses
around a multiple field addition.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/27/166

His original commit message:

There is a kind of precedence problem here, but it doesn't affect how
the code works because -&gt;serial_signals is unsigned char.  We want to
clear two flags here.

#define SerialSignal_RTS            0x20     /* Request to Send */
#define SerialSignal_DTR            0x80     /* Data Terminal Ready */

Without the parenthesis then it does:

	info-&gt;serial_signals &amp;= 0x5f;

With the parenthesis it does:

	info-&gt;serial_signals &amp;= 0xffffff5f;

info-&gt;serial_signals is an unsigned char so the two statements are
equivalent, but it's cleaner to add the parenthesis.  In other dtr_rts()
functions the parenthesis are there so this makes it more consistent.

Other changes:

Convert all + uses to | for these bit operations.

Reorder the multiple fields for consistency.
Update the comments too.

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.

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.
