[PATCH 0/8] Replace kernel-defined ASYNC_ bits

[Peter Hurley]

As outlined in my January email ("RFC: out-of-tree tty driver breakage"),
the tty/serial core uses 5 bits in the tty_port.flags field to manage
state. They are:

ASYNCB_INITIALIZED
ASYNCB_SUSPENDED
ASYNCB_NORMAL_ACTIVE
ASYNCB_CTS_FLOW
ASYNCB_CHECK_CD

(NB: ASYNC_CLOSING was recently removed)

However, updates to this field (tty_port.flags) can be and often are
non-atomic. Additionally, the field is visible to/modifiable by userspace
(the state bits above are not modifiable by userspace though).

This series moves these state bits into a different tty_port field
(iflags) and abstracts state tests and changes with trivial helpers.

The last patch of the series purposefully breaks out-of-tree driver
builds to ensure they update state test/change methods to the helpers
instead.

REQUIRES: "tty: Replace TTY_IO_ERROR bit tests with tty_io_error()"
          "tty: Replace TTY_THROTTLED bit tests with tty_throttled()"

Regards,

Peter Hurley (8):
  tty: Define ASYNC_ replacement bits
  tty: Replace ASYNC_CTS_FLOW bit and update atomically
  tty: Replace ASYNC_NORMAL_ACTIVE bit and update atomically
  tty: Replace ASYNC_CHECK_CD and update atomically
  tty: Replace ASYNC_SUSPENDED bit and update atomically
  tty: Replace ASYNC_INITIALIZED bit and update atomically
  tty: mxser: Remove unused ASYNC_SHARE_IRQ flag
  tty: core: Undefine ASYNC_* flags superceded by TTY_PORT* flags
