Problems with the buffer-full tests done in receive_char() caused characters to
be lost at times when the buffer(s) filled. Also, these full conditions
would often only be detected with echo on, and PARMRK was not accounted for
properly in all cases. One symptom of these problems, in addition to lost
characters, was early termination from unix commands like tr and cat when
^Q was used to break from a stopped tty with full buffers (note that breaking
out was often previously not possible, due to the pty getting in "gridlock",

To support containers, allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem, such
that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of ptys
allocated in other instances of devpts.
But to preserve backward compatibility, enable this support for multiple
instances only if:
- CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES is set to Y, and
- '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
To use multi-instance mount, a container startup script could:
where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' is calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
the original mount of /dev/pts.
USER-SPACE-IMPACT:
- See Documentation/fs/devpts.txt (included in next patch) for user-
space impact in multi-instance and mixed-mode operation.
TODO:
- Update mount(8), pts(4) man pages. Highlight impact of not
redirecting /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx after a multi-instance mount.
Changelog[v6]:
- [Dave Hansen] Use new get_init_pts_sb() interface
- [Serge Hallyn] Don't bother displaying 'newinstance' in show_options
- [Serge Hallyn] Use macros (PARSE_REMOUNT/PARSE_MOUNT) instead of 0/1.
- [Serge Hallyn] Check error return from get_sb_single() (now
get_init_pts_sb())
- devpts_pty_kill(): don't dput error dentries
Changelog[v5]:
- Move get_sb_ref() definition to earlier patch
- Move usage info to Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt (next patch)
- Make ptmx node even in init_pts_ns, now that default mode is 0000
(defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
- Cache ptmx dentry and use to update mode during remount
(defined in earlier patch, enabled here).
- Bugfix: explicitly ignore newinstance on remount (if newinstance was
specified on remount of initial mount, it would be ignored but
/proc/mounts would imply that the option was set)
Changelog[v4]:
- Update patch description to address H. Peter Anvin's comments
- Consolidate multi-instance mode code under new config token,
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCE.
- Move usage-details from patch description to
Documentation/fs/devpts.txt
Changelog[v3]:
- Rename new mount option to 'newinstance'
- Create ptmx nodes only in 'newinstance' mounts
- Bugfix: parse_mount_options() modifies @data but since we need to
parse the @data twice (once in devpts_get_sb() and once during
do_remount_sb()), parse a local copy of @data in devpts_get_sb().
(restructured code in devpts_get_sb() to fix this)
Changelog[v2]:
- Support both single-mount and multiple-mount semantics and
provide '-onewmnt' option to select the semantics.
/dev/ptmx is closely tied to the devpts filesystem. An open of /dev/ptmx,
allocates the next pty index and the associated device shows up in the
devpts fs as /dev/pts/n.
Wih multiple instancs of devpts filesystem, during an open of /dev/ptmx
we would be unable to determine which instance of the devpts is being
accessed.
So we move the 'ptmx' node into /dev/pts and use the inode of the 'ptmx'
node to identify the superblock and hence the devpts instance. This patch
adds ability for the kernel to internally create the [ptmx, c, 5:2] device
when mounting devpts filesystem. Since the ptmx node in devpts is new and
may surprise some userspace scripts, the default permissions for the new
node is 0000. These permissions can be changed either using chmod or by
remounting with the new '-o ptmxmode=0666' mount option.
Changelog[v5]:
- [Serge Hallyn bugfix]: Letting new_inode() assign inode number to
ptmx can collide with hand-assigning inode numbers to ptys. So,
hand-assign specific inode number to ptmx node also.
- [Serge Hallyn]: Maybe safer to grab root dentry mutex while creating
ptmx node
- [Bugfix with Serge Hallyn] Replace lookup_one_len() in mknod_ptmx()
wih d_alloc_name() (lookup during ->get_sb() locks up system). To
simplify patchset, fold the ptmx_dentry patch into this.
Changelog[v4]:
- Change default permissions of pts/ptmx node to 0000.
- Move code for ptmxmode under #ifdef CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.
Changelog[v3]:
- Rename ptmx_mode to ptmxmode (for consistency with 'newinstance')
Changelog[v2]:
- [H. Peter Anvin] Remove mknod() system call support and create the
ptmx node internally.
Changelog[v1]:
- Earlier version of this patch enabled creating /dev/pts/tty as
well. As pointed out by Al Viro and H. Peter Anvin, that is not
really necessary.
With support for multiple mounts of devpts, the 'config' structure really
represents per-mount options rather than config parameters. Rename 'config'
structure to 'pts_mount_opts' and store it in the super-block.
