n_tty: Factor LNEXT processing from per-char i/o path,
mistakenly inlined the non-inline alias, n_tty_receive_char(),
for the inline function, n_tty_receive_char_inline().

Commit f95499c303,
n_tty: Don't wait for buffer work in read() loop
creates a race window which can cause a pty master read()
to miss the last pty slave write(s) and return -EIO instead,
thus signalling the pty slave is closed. This can happen when
the pty slave is written and immediately closed but before the
tty buffer i/o loop receives the new input; the pty master
read() is scheduled, sees its read buffer is empty and the
pty slave has been closed, and exits.
Because tty_flush_to_ldisc() has significant performance impact
for parallel i/o, rather than revert the commit, special case this
condition (ie., when the read buffer is empty and the 'other' pty
has been closed) and, only then, wait for buffer work to complete
before re-testing if the read buffer is still empty.
As before, subsequent pty master reads return any available data
until no more data is available, and then returns -EIO to
indicate the pty slave has closed.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,
thus mistakenly indicating the end-of-file condition.
The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not
at the beginning of the line. Because the EOF push condition is
evaluated by a thread other than the read(), multiple EOF pushes can
cause a premature end-of-file to be indicated.
Instead, discover the 'EOF push as first read character' condition
from the read() thread itself, and restart the i/o loop if detected.

Although line discipline receiving is single-producer/single-consumer,
using tty->receive_room to manage flow control creates unnecessary
critical regions requiring additional lock use.
Instead, introduce the optional .receive_buf2() ldisc method which
returns the # of bytes actually received. Serialization is guaranteed
by the caller.
In turn, the line discipline should schedule the buffer work item
whenever space becomes available; ie., when there is room to receive
data and receive_room() previously returned 0 (the buffer work
item stops processing if receive_buf2() returns 0). Note the
'no room' state need not be atomic despite concurrent use by two
threads because only the buffer work thread can set the state and
only the read() thread can clear the state.
Add n_tty_receive_buf2() as the receive_buf2() method for N_TTY.
Provide a public helper function, tty_ldisc_receive_buf(), to use
when directly accessing the receive_buf() methods.
Line disciplines not using input flow control can continue to set

The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of
unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading
to its breakage.
The previous patches fixed the crashing. This one reduces coupling further
by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method.
This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic,
and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the
ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

The "normal" spin lock that guards the N_TTY line discipline read section
is replaced by a raw spin lock.
On a PREEMP_RT system this prevents unwanted scheduling overhead when data is
read at the same time as data is being received: while RX IRQ threaded handling
is busy a TTY read call is performed from a RT priority > threaded IRQ priority.
The read call tries to take the read section spin lock (held by the threaded
IRQ) which blocks and causes a context switch to/from the threaded IRQ handler
until the spin lock is unlocked.

So this is it. The big step why we did all the work over the past
kernel releases. Now everything is prepared, so nothing protects us
from doing that big step.

The buffers are now in the tty_port structure and we can start
teaching the buffer helpers (insert char/string, flip etc.) to use
tty_port instead of tty_struct all around.

In some funtions we need only n_tty_data, so pass it down directly in
case tty is not needed there.

atomic_write_lock is not n_tty specific, so move it up in the
tty_struct.
And since these are the last ones to move, remove also the comment
saying there are some ldisc' members. There are none now.

Here we move bitmaps and use DECLARE_BITMAP to declare them in the new
structure. And instead of memset, we use bitmap_zero as it is more
appropriate.

Here we start moving all the n_tty related bits from tty_struct to
the newly defined n_tty_data struct in n_tty proper.
In this patch primitive members and bits are moved. The rest will be
done per-partes in the next patches.

This is a private member of n_tty. Stop accessing it. Instead, take is
as an argument.
This is needed to allow clean switch of the private members to a
separate private structure of n_tty.

* BUG_ON(!tty) in n_tty_set_termios -- it cannot be called with tty ==
NULL. It is called from two call sites. First, from n_tty_open where
we have a valid tty. Second, as ld->ops->set_termios from
tty_set_termios. But there we have a valid tty too.
* if (!tty) in n_tty_open -- why would the TTY layer call ldisc's
open with an invalid TTY? No it indeed does not. All call sites have
a tty and dereference that.
* BUG_ON(!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_read -- this used to be a valid
check. The ldisc handling was broken some time ago when I added the
check to ensure everything is OK. It still can catch the case, but
no later than we move the buffer to ldisc data. Then there will be
no read_buf in tty_struct, i.e. nothing to check for.
* if (!tty->read_buf) in n_tty_receive_buf -- this should never
happen. All callers of ldisc->ops->receive_ops should hold a
reference to an ldisc and close (which frees read_buf) cannot be
called until the reference is dropped.
* if (WARN_ON(!tty->read_buf)) in n_tty_read -- the same as in the
previous case.

ldisc->open and close are called only once and cannot cross. So the
tests in open and close are superfluous. Remove them. (But leave sets
to NULL to ensure there is not a bug somewhere.)
And when the tests are gone, handle properly failures in open. We
leaked read_buf if allocation of echo_buf failed before. Now this is
not the case anymore.

Change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON and return in case of tty->read_buf==NULL. We want to track a
couple of long standing reports of this but at the same time we can avoid killing the box.

When PARMRK is set and large transfers of characters that will get
marked are being received, n_tty could drop data silently (i.e.
without reporting any error to the client). This is because
characters have the potential to take up to three bytes in the line
discipline (when they get marked with parity or framing errors), but
the amount of free space reported to tty_buffer flush_to_ldisc (via
tty->receive_room) is based on the pre-marked data size.
With this patch, the n_tty layer will no longer assume that each byte
will only take up one byte in the line discipline. Instead, it will
make an overly conservative estimate that each byte will take up
three bytes in the line discipline when PARMRK is set.
