As well known, hvc backend can register its opertions to hvc backend.
the operations contain put_chars(), get_chars() and so on.
Some hvc backend may do dma in its operations. eg, put_chars() of
virtio-console. But in the code of hvc framework, it may pass DMA
incapable memory to put_chars() under a specific configuration, which
is explained in commit c4baad5029(virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack):
1, c[] is on stack,
hvc_console_print():
char c[N_OUTBUF] __ALIGNED__;
cons_ops[index]->put_chars(vtermnos[index], c, i);
2, ch is on stack,
static void hvc_poll_put_char(,,char ch)
{
struct tty_struct *tty = driver->ttys[0];
struct hvc_struct *hp = tty->driver_data;
int n;
do {
n = hp->ops->put_chars(hp->vtermno, &ch, 1);
} while (n <= 0);
}
Commit c4baad5029 is just the fix to avoid DMA from stack memory, which
is passed to virtio-console by hvc framework in above code. But I think
the fix is aggressive, it directly uses kmemdup() to alloc new buffer
from kmalloc area and do memcpy no matter the memory is in kmalloc area
or not. But most importantly, it should better be fixed in the hvc
framework, by changing it to never pass stack memory to the put_chars()
function in the first place. Otherwise, we still face the same issue if
a new hvc backend using dma added in the furture.
In this patch, add 'char cons_outbuf[]' as part of 'struct hvc_struct',
so hp->cons_outbuf is no longer the stack memory, we can use it in above
cases safely. We also add lock to protect cons_outbuf instead of using
the global lock of hvc.
Introduce another array(cons_hvcs[]) for hvc pointers next to the
cons_ops[] and vtermnos[] arrays. With the array, we can easily find
hvc's cons_outbuf and its lock.
With the patch, we can revert the fix c4baad5029.
