Jiri Slaby a75b7b68ef tty: Char: mxser, use THRE for ASPP_OQUEUE ioctl
In moxa specific ASPP_OQUEUE ioctl command, they apparently want
only know whether there is space in transmitter hold register.

So switch UART_LSR_TEMT to UART_LSR_THRE in that specific case
according to the change in 1.14 moxa drivers.

vt_waitactive no longer accepts console parameter as console-1

Jiri Slaby d13549f804 cyclades: add tty refcounting
While this is not problem for Y card handlers (they are protected
by card_lock), Z handlers and other functions may dereference NULL
at any point after hangup/close. Even if (tty == NULL) was already
performed in the handler.

Note that it's not an issue for Y cards just for now. After
switching to tty_port_close_* et al. this will be a problem. So
add refcounting to them all.

Also proc .show doesn't take a tty reference and it should (along
with a ldisc one).

While at it and changing prototypes (adding tty param), prepend
cy_ to functions which don't have it yet.

Linus Torvalds 182274f85f tty-ldisc: get rid of tty_ldisc_try_get() helper function
Now that the /proc/tty/ldiscs handling doesn't play games with 'struct
ldisc' any more, the only remaining user of 'tty_ldisc_try_get()' is
'tty_ldisc_get()' (note the lack of 'try').

And we're actually much better off folding the logic directly into that
file, since the 'try' part was always about trying to get the ldisc
operations, not the ldisc itself: and making that explicit inside of
'tty_ldisc_get()' clarifies the whole semantics.

Linus Torvalds f0de0e8d35 tty-ldisc: make /proc/tty/ldiscs use ldisc_ops instead of ldiscs
The /proc/tty/ldiscs file is totally and utterly un-interested in the
"struct tty_ldisc" structures, and only cares about the underlying ldisc
operations.

So don't make it create a dummy 'struct ldisc' only to get a pointer to
the operations, and then destroy it.  Instead, we split up the function
'tty_ldisc_try_get()', and create a 'get_ldops()' helper that just looks
up the ldisc operations based on the ldisc number.

That makes the code simpler to read (smaller and more well-defined
helper functions), and allows the /proc functions to avoid creating that
useless dummy only to immediately free it again.

Linus Torvalds 202c4675c5 pty_write: don't do a tty_wakeup() when the buffers are full
Commit ac89a9174 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside
'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the
regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself.

That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be
doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled
up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write.

Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async
code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push
out data to the tty.  When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up
thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between
XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details).  End result: one unhappy ppp
user.

Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do
anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much
not calling tty_wakeup()).

David S. Miller 09d3f3f0e0 sparc: Kill PROM console driver.
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

Jin Dongming 162dd42124 mem_class: fix bug
When I build and boot -next on fedora 10, I can not login anymore.
When I input the user name and password, the system does not output
any message and requires user to input the user name and password
again and again.

I find the patch which caused this problem with "GIT BISECT" command.
And the patch is
    commit 7c4b7daa1878972ed0137c95f23569124bd6e2b1
    "mem_class: use minor as index instead of searching the array".

Though I don't know the real reason why user could not login, I
confirmed the patch I made as following could resolve the problem on
fedora 10.
