Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 16:51:54 -0800 From: Havard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@...gle.com> To: gregkh@...e.de Cc: alan@...ux.intel.com, davej@...hat.com, jslaby@...e.cz, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Havard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@...gle.com> Subject: [PATCH] cdc-acm: Kill ACM_READY() macro completely The ACM_READY() macro doesn't seem to do anything useful, and it may prevent tty_wait_until_sent() from working properly when called from close. Previously, acm_tty_chars_in_buffer() returned 0 whenever acm->port.count was 0. This means close() could return before all the data has actually been written. Signed-off-by: Havard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@...gle.com> --- Hi Greg, Thanks for picking up my patch. Unfortunately, it's not completely bug-free. This fixes an issue I found while testing the patch: After writing something to /dev/ttyACM0, the process would hang for a fairly long time (10-15 seconds) when closing the device. This is because port.count drops to 0 before tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() is called, which causes ACM_READY() to return false, any outstanding writes never get reaped because the workqueue doesn't get scheduled, tty_wait_until_sent never sees any progress and eventually times out. Please feel free to fold this into "cdc-acm: Fix potential deadlock (lockdep warning)", or let me know if you want me to send you a v2 of that patch instead. drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c | 10 +--------- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c b/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c index 3027ada..d9d9340 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c +++ b/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c @@ -60,8 +60,6 @@ static struct acm *acm_table[ACM_TTY_MINORS]; static DEFINE_MUTEX(acm_table_lock); -#define ACM_READY(acm) (acm && acm->dev && acm->port.count) - /* * acm_table accessors */ @@ -319,9 +317,6 @@ static void acm_ctrl_irq(struct urb *urb) goto exit; } - if (!ACM_READY(acm)) - goto exit; - usb_mark_last_busy(acm->dev); data = (unsigned char *)(dr + 1); @@ -481,8 +476,7 @@ static void acm_write_bulk(struct urb *urb) spin_lock_irqsave(&acm->write_lock, flags); acm_write_done(acm, wb); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&acm->write_lock, flags); - if (ACM_READY(acm)) - schedule_work(&acm->work); + schedule_work(&acm->work); } static void acm_softint(struct work_struct *work) @@ -492,8 +486,6 @@ static void acm_softint(struct work_struct *work) dev_vdbg(&acm->data->dev, "%s\n", __func__); - if (!ACM_READY(acm)) - return; tty = tty_port_tty_get(&acm->port); if (!tty) return; -- 1.7.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
