alloc_pci_dev allocates some memory, so that memory should be freed before
leaving the function in an error case.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:

A userspace could submit a buffer with 0 length to be written to the

This was not needed previously, but recent changes in the way write()

I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was
seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even
though there were messages queued up there.
virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine
if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from
inbuf through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf,
port->inbuf will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the
virtqueue.
This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read,
this patch fixes this by using will_read_block(port) instead of the
port->inbuf != NULL check.

tty driver
I found a bug "by chance" in drivers/char/tty_io.c
I mean "by chance" because I was just reading the code of the
tty_find_polling_driver() to make a new tty_find_by_name() function.
In tty_find_polling_driver() the driver actually test "tty_line <=
p->num" while num refers to the number of struct tty_struct pointers
allocated for the p->ttys (p is a tty_driver), and tty_line is scanned
in a tty name, which can be for example ttyS2. Then tty_line equals 2.
And if p->num is 2, we have only p->ttys[0] and p->ttys[1], but no
p->ttys[2].
This is actually unharmful, for tty_find_polling_driver() is used only
in drivers/serial/kgdboc.c, and there's a test over there to find a
console with a matching index, which will never happen.
This is still a bug anyway.

After 02f0777a0d6560eb995aade34a1b82f95c0452da "vc_origin" is no
longer reset to the screen buffer before calling the con_init() hook
of the new console driver.
If the old driver wasn't using a fixed scanout buffer (e.g. the case
of vgacon) "vc_origin" may be a pointer to a VRAM location, and its
contents aren't guaranteed to be preserved after calling con_deinit()
on the old driver and con_init() on the new driver, i.e. the
subsequent console resize may fill the framebuffer with garbage.
It can be reproduced in the transition from vgacon to the nouveau
framebuffer driver: in that case the legacy VGA aperture "vc_origin"
points to becomes unreadable after fbcon_init().
This patch reverts the mentioned commit. To avoid the problem it
intended to fix, stop using "vc_scr_end" in vc_do_resize() to
calculate how many rows we have to copy (actually the code looks
simpler this way without the help of "vc_scr_end").

The KIOCSOUND and KDMKTONE ioctls are based on the CLOCK_TICK_RATE,
which is architecture and sometimes configuration specific.
In practice, most user applications assume that it is actually defined
as the i8253 PIT base clock of 1193182 Hz, which is true on some
architectures but not on others.
This patch makes the vt code use the PIT frequency on all
architectures, which is much more well-defined. It will change the
behavior of user applications sending the beep ioctl on all
architectures that define CLOCK_TICK_RATE different from
PIT_TICK_RATE.
The original breakage was introduced in commit bcc8ca099 "Adapt
drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c to non-x86". Hopefully, reverting this change
will make the frequency correct in more cases than it will make it
incorrect.

tty: fix fu_list abuse
tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.
If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".
Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.
The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.
[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

to atomically change the console mode with kernel mode setting but did
not preserve the state of the console_blanked variable.
The console_blanked variable must be restored when executing the
con_debug_leave() or further kernel mode set changes (such as using
chvt X) will fail to correctly set the state of console.

There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a
lot of overhead. So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which
is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++.
This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way.
There are a lot of benefits:
- Compile time handling of the different fifo types
- Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate
9 assembly instructions on a x86)
- Type save
- Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone
- Easier to use
- Less error prone
- Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or
any other type. See below for an example.
- Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos
- No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO
The API was not changed.
There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the
structure. The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space. Dynamic
assigned or allocated create a little bit more code.
Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a
function call. Only the really small one generates inline code.
Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the
"unsigned char" byte streamed fifos.
There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single
element in a fifo. This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit
larger but faster.
I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to
maintain. But i have all tested and it works as expected. I analyzed the
output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written
assembler code. For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the
same as with the current kfifo implementation. For all other types of
fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use.
The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy
to use. So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what
a developer needs. This will save in the future a lot of kernel space,
since there is no need to write an own implementation. Most of the device
driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain
benefit from this API.
Here are the results of the text section usage:
Example 1:
kfifo_put/_get kfifo_in/out current kfifo
dynamic allocated 0x000002a8 0x00000291 0x00000299
in place 0x00000291 0x0000026e 0x00000273
kfifo.c new old
text section size 0x00000be5 0x000008b2
As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than
kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline).
The code is complete hand crafted and optimized. The text section size is
as small as possible. You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb. This
includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling.
This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented.
Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users. All functions
which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed. So, please adapt
your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post
it.
This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel:
kfifo_to_user()
kfifo_from_user()
kfifo_dma_....() macros
kfifo_esize()
kfifo_recsize()
kfifo_put()
kfifo_get()
The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the
variable size records fifo's
This patch:
User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access
the fifo structure. Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.

Add a spin_unlock_irqrestore missing on the error path. Converting the
return to break leads to the spin_unlock_irqrestore at the end of the
function.
The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

This is one of the most interesting users of module parameters in the
tree, so weaning it off the old-style non-const module_param_call
scheme is a useful exercise.
I was confused by set_param_int/get_param_int (vs. the normal
param_set_int and param_get_int), so I renamed set_param_int to
set_param_timeout, and re-used param_get_int directly instead of
get_param_int. I also implemented param_check_wdog_ifnum and
param_check_timeout, so now the ifnum_to_use and timeout/pretimeout
parameters can just use plain module_param().
