When the user specifies both a COW file and its backing file, if the previous
backing file is not found, currently UML tries again to use it and fails.
This can be corrected by changing same_backing_files() return value in that
case, so that the caller will try to change the COW file to point to the new
location, as already done in other cases.
Additionally, given the change in the meaning of the func, change its name,
invert its return value, so all values are inverted except when
stat(from_cow,&buf2) fails. And add some comments and two minor bugfixes -
remove a fd leak (return err rather than goto out) and a repeated check.

In this error path, when the interface has had a problem, we call dev_close(),
which is disallowed for two reasons:
*) takes again the UML internal spinlock, inside the ->stop method of this
device
*) can be called in process context only, while we're in interrupt context.
I've also thought that calling dev_close() may be a wrong policy to follow,
but it's not up to me to decide that.
However, we may end up with multiple dev_close() queued on the same device.
But the initial test for (dev->flags & IFF_UP) makes this harmless, though -
and dev_close() is supposed to care about races with itself. So there's no
harm in delaying the shutdown, IMHO.
Something to mark the interface as "going to shutdown" would be appreciated,
but dev_deactivate has the same problems as dev_close(), so we can't use it
either.

The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.
This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.
When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.
For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).
Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.
The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.
I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.
Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.
Description:
tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It
does now also return the number of chars inserted
There are also
tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)
which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.
and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)
to insert a string of characters and flags
For a smart interface the usual code is
len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);
More description!
At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)
I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.
So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all
break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.
At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say
int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)
Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.
int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)
As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.
int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)
Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted.
int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)
Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
sector size.

This patch cleans up the umid code:

- get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid.
- umid_is_random is gone since its users went away.
- Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough
that printk is working.
- Error paths were cleaned up.
- Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error
message rather than printing it themselves. This eliminates the practice of
passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot
process we are.
- Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment
explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect.
- Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to
their native libc forms.
- snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often,

This patch simplifies the opening and closing of host console devices and the
registration and deregistration of IRQs. The intent is to make it obvious
that an IRQ can't exist without an open file descriptor.
chan_enable will now open the channel, and when both opening and IRQ
registration are desired, this should be used. Opening only is done for the
initial console, so that interface still needs to exist.
The free_irqs_later interface is now gone. It was intended to avoid freeing
an IRQ while it was being processed. It did this, but it didn't eliminate the
possiblity of free_irq being called from an interrupt, which is bad. In its
place is a list of irqs to be freed, which is processed by the signal handler
just before exiting. close_one_chan now disables irqs.
When a host device disappears, it is just closed, and that disables IRQs.
The device id registered with the IRQ is now the chan structure, not the tty.
This is because the interrupt arrives on a descriptor associated with the
channel. This caused equivalent changes in the arguments to line_timer_cb.
line_disable is gone since it is not used any more.
The count field in the line structure is gone. tty->count is used instead.
The complicated logic in sigio_handler with freeing IRQs when necessary and
making sure its idea of the next irq is correct is now much simpler. The irq
list can't be rearranged underneath it, so it is now a simple list walk.

printk clears the host errno (I verified this in debugging and it's reasonable
enough, given that it ends via a write call on some fd, especially since
printk() goes on /dev/tty0 which is often the host stdout). So save errno
earlier. There's no reason to change the printk calls to use -err rather than
errno - the assignment can't clear errno.
And in the first failure path, we used to return 0 too (and this time more
clearly), which is totally wrong. 0 is a success fd, which is then registered
and gives a "registering fd twice" warning.

fields is wrong for bigendians (e.g. s390)
I replaced bytewise copying by memcpy(), maybe even that might be removed, if
ifa->ifa_address/mask may be used immediately.

The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed
some problems in the block driver. I have fixes for these, but am not
comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date. So, this patch reverts
the use of host AIO.
I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14
in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to
the general public.
