Subject[PATCH 00/24] rfcomm fixes
Date
Marcel,

This patch series addresses a number of previously unknown issues
with the RFCOMM tty device implementation, in addition to
addressing the locking regression recently reported [1].

As Gianluca suggested and I agree, this series first reverts
3 of the 4 patches of 3.14-rc1 for bluetooth/rfcomm/tty.c.

The reasoning is detailed in the changelog for
Revert "Bluetooth: Always wait for a connection on RFCOMM open()"
but the short answer is that it re-implements a long-standing
bug by blocking on a non-blocking open.

This patch series corrects the reported regressions from 3.13
(to the extent that correction is required). Specifically,
the ModemManager regression reported by Gianluca Anzolin [2]
and the rfcomm bind with wvdial reported by Andrey Vihrov [3].

tty: Fix ref counting for port krefs
Bluetooth: Fix racy acquire of rfcomm_dev reference
Bluetooth: Exclude released devices from RFCOMMGETDEVLIST ioctl
Bluetooth: Release rfcomm_dev only once
Bluetooth: Fix unreleased rfcomm_dev reference
These first 5 patches after the reverts
fix 4 different rfcomm_dev ref count mishandling bugs.

Bluetooth: Fix RFCOMM tty teardown race and
Bluetooth: Serialize RFCOMMCREATEDEV and RFCOMMRELEASEDEV ioctls
Fix races which occur due to the design of the rfcomm ioctls
(note that buses don't have these kinds of races).

Bluetooth: Verify dlci not in use before rfcomm_dev create
Bluetooth: Simplify RFCOMM session state eval
Bluetooth: Refactor deferred setup test in rfcomm_dlc_close()
Bluetooth: Refactor dlc disconnect logic in rfcomm_dlc_close()
Bluetooth: Directly close dlc for not yet started RFCOMM session
These 5 patches fix issues with reusing the dlci after
closing the tty (found by unit test).

Bluetooth: Fix unsafe RFCOMM device parenting
Bluetooth: Fix RFCOMM parent device for reused dlc
These 2 patches fix the ModemManager regression.

Bluetooth: Refactor rfcomm_dev_add()
Bluetooth: Cleanup RFCOMM device registration error handling
These 2 patches fix an unreleased module reference while
error handling.

Bluetooth: Rename __rfcomm_dev_get() to __rfcomm_dev_lookup()
This is a trivial naming patch with no functional impact.

Bluetooth: Force -EIO from tty read/write if .activate() fails
The tty core provides an existing mechanism for failing
reads/writes if device activation fails (like an error
allocating the dlc).

Bluetooth: Don't fail RFCOMM tty writes
This patch implements buffered writes even if the device
is not connected.

While unit testing this, I discovered a serious defect in
the way available space is computed that under-utilizes
rfcomm i/o and may even halt further tx on that link, which
is fixed by:
Bluetooth: Refactor write_room() calculation
Bluetooth: Fix write_room() calculation


Note that this series does not fix the naively inefficient
method of packetizing tty output; packetizing should be
done on the krfcommd thread to take advantage of aggregating
multiple tty writes into 1 or more packets. Look at any
line-by-line console output to realize how under-utilized
the rfcomm tty packeting is.
