tty: Remove tty_hung_up_p() tests from tty drivers' open()
Since at least before 2.6.30, it has not been possible to observe a hung up file pointer in a tty driver's open() method unless/until the driver open() releases the tty_lock() (eg., before blocking). This is because tty_open() adds the file pointer while holding the tty_lock() _and_ doesn't release the lock until after calling the tty driver's open() method. [ Before tty_lock(), this was lock_kernel(). ] Since __tty_hangup() first waits on the tty_lock() before enumerating and hanging up the open file pointers, either __tty_hangup() will wait for the tty_lock() or tty_open() will not yet have added the file pointer. For example, CPU 0 | CPU 1 | tty_open | __tty_hangup .. | .. tty_lock | .. tty_reopen | tty_lock / blocks .. | tty_add_file(tty, filp) | .. | tty->ops->open(tty, filp) | tty_port_open | tty_port_block_til_ready | .. | while (1) | .. | tty_unlock | / unblocks schedule | for each filp on tty->tty_files | f_ops = tty_hung_up_fops; | .. | tty_unlock tty_lock | .. | tty_unlock | Note that since tty_port_block_til_ready() and similar drop the tty_lock while blocking, when woken, the file pointer must then be tested for having been hung up. Also, fix bit-rotted drivers that used extra_count to track the port->count bump. CC: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> CC: Samuel Ortiz <samuel@sortiz.org> CC: "David S.
