similar to: [PATCH 0/3] virtio: console: async notifications for host connect / disconnect

Hi Rusty, The main thing in these patches is the introduction of injecting SIGIO on host-side connect/disconnect events and when new data is available for ports. The first two patches fix bugs that I haven't seen, but look like the right thing to do. These have been tested extensively using the test-virtserial test suite. Please apply, Amit. Amit Shah (4): virtio: console: Un-block

Hello, This series fixes a few bugs and races with port unplug and the various file operations: read(), write() and close(). I started coding up an alternative locking mechanism based on the discussion earlier in this series, but some of what we already have has to remain, and the new code is sufficiently different, so I'd rather it bakes for a while, and I ensure there are no regressions

Hello, This series fixes a few bugs and races with port unplug and the various file operations: read(), write(), close() and poll(). There still might be more races lurking, but testing this series looks good to at least solve the easily-triggerable ones. I've run the virtio-serial testsuite and a few open/close/unplug tests, and haven't seen any badness. I've marked these patches

SIGIO should be sent when a port gets unplugged. It should only be sent to prcesses that have the port opened, and have asked for SIGIO to be delivered. We were clearing out guest_connected before calling send_sigio_to_port(), resulting in a sigio not getting sent to processes. Fix by setting guest_connected to false after invoking the sigio function. CC: <stable at vger.kernel.org>

send_sigio_to_port() checks the value of guest_connected, which we always modify under the inbuf_lock; make sure invocations of send_sigio_to_port() have take the inbuf_lock around the call.

Hi folks, Today I noticed some strange behaviour when accessing a samba server (samba 3.0.25a) from windows: On our Debian fileserver I prepared a file testfile.txt being owned by user usera and group dpt-a. Then I "setfacl -m g:admins:rwx testfile.txt". User userb who is only in group admins, but not in dpt-a is thus permitted to access and change this file by its POSIX-ACL, which

We expose multiple char devices ("ports") for simple communication between the host userspace and guest. Sample offline usages can be: poking around in a guest to find out the file systems used, applications installed, etc. Online usages can be sharing of clipboard data between the guest and the host, sending information about logged-in users to the host, locking the screen or session

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede at redhat.com> I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even though there were messages queued up there. virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from

Hey Rusty, These are the patches that rework a few bits to make hot-unplug while ports are open not crash apps (or kernels). The problem is when hot-unplug is performed when a port is open, the cdev struct is kept around by the file pointers and when the app later does a 'close', things go boom-boom. This patch series makes sure port as well as device hot-unplug is now safe to perform
