tty_ldisc_flush() first clears the line discipline input buffer,
then clears the tty flip buffers. However, this allows for existing
data in the tty flip buffers to be added after the ldisc input
buffer has been cleared, but before the flip buffers have been cleared.
Add an optional ldisc parameter to tty_buffer_flush() to allow
tty_ldisc_flush() to pass the ldisc to clear.
NB: Initially, the plan was to do this automatically in
tty_buffer_flush(). However, an audit of the behavior of existing
line disciplines showed that performing a ldisc buffer flush on
ioctl(TCFLSH) was not always the outcome. For example, some line
disciplines have flush_buffer() methods but not ioctl() methods,
so a ->flush_buffer() command would be unexpected.

The pty driver does not obtain an ldisc reference to the linked

is possible for one ldisc to be halted, and before the second
ldisc can be halted, a concurrent write schedules buffer work on

the scheduled buffer work starts on the closed ldisc.

of the halt on both ttys.

In preparation for destructing and freeing the tty, the line discipline
must first be brought to an inactive state before it can be destructed.
This line discipline shutdown must:
- disallow new users of the ldisc
- wait for existing ldisc users to finish
- only then, cancel/flush their pending/running work
Factor tty_ldisc_wait_idle() from tty_set_ldisc() and tty_ldisc_kill()
to ensure this shutdown order.
Failure to provide this guarantee can result in scheduled work

Before the path mentioned tty_ldisc_release() look like this:
| tty_ldisc_halt(tty);
| tty_ldisc_flush_works(tty);
| tty_lock();
As it can be seen, it first flushes the workqueue and then grabs the
tty_lock. Now we grab the lock first:
| tty_lock_pair(tty, o_tty);
| tty_ldisc_halt(tty);
| tty_ldisc_flush_works(tty);
so lockdep's complaint seems valid.
The earlier version of this patch took the ldisc_mutex since the other
user of tty_ldisc_flush_works() (tty_set_ldisc()) did this.
Peter Hurley then said that it is should not be requried. Since it
wasn't done earlier, I dropped this part.
The code under tty_ldisc_kill() was executed earlier with the tty lock
taken so it is taken again.
I was able to reproduce the deadlock on v3.8-rc1, this patch fixes the
problem in my testcase. I didn't notice any problems so far.

We reintroduced tty_ldisc_wait_idle in 100eeae2c5 (TTY: restore
tty_ldisc_wait_idle) and used in set_ldisc. Then we added it also to
the hangup path in 92f6fa09bd (TTY: ldisc, do not close until there
are readers). And we noted that there is one more path:
~ Before 65b770468e tty_ldisc_wait_idle was called also from
~ tty_ldisc_release. It is called from tty_release, so I don't think
~ we need to restore that one.
Well, I was wrong. There might still be holders of an ldisc
reference. Not from userspace, but drivers. If they take a reference
and a user closes the device immediately after that, we have a
problem. ldisc is halted and closed by TTY, but the driver still may
call some ldisc's operation and cause a crash.
So restore the tty_ldisc_wait_idle call also to the third location
where it was before 65b770468e (tty-ldisc: turn ldisc user count
into a proper refcount). Now we should be safe with respect to the
ldisc reference counting as all* tty_ldisc_close paths are safely
called with reference count of one.
* Not the one in tty_ldisc_setup's fail path. But that is called
before the first open finishes. So userspace does not see it yet.
Even thought the driver is given the TTY already via ->install, it
should not take a reference to the ldisc yet. If some driver is to
do this, we should put one tty_ldisc_wait_idle also in the setup.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.
Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.
* 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (46 commits)
workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending()
workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active()
workqueue: introduce cwq_set_max_active() helper for thaw_workqueues()
workqueue: remove @delayed from cwq_dec_nr_in_flight()
workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item
workqueue: use hotcpu_notifier() for workqueue_cpu_down_callback()
workqueue: use __cpuinit instead of __devinit for cpu callbacks
workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex
workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding
workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding
workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding
workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work()
workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()
workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue
workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work
workqueue: clean up delayed_work initializers and add missing one
workqueue: make deferrable delayed_work initializer names consistent
workqueue: cosmetic whitespace updates for macro definitions
workqueue: deprecate system_nrt[_freezable]_wq
workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()
...
flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated
and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work().
If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is
not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to
use the sync flushes at all and they're going away.
This patch doesn't make any functional difference.
