The same as in the previous patch, tty_prepare_flip_string() accepts
size_t as an size argument. It returns the same size (or less). It is
unexpected that it returns a signed value and can confuse users to check
for negative values.
Instead, return the same size_t as accepted to make clear we return
values >= 0, where zero in fact means failure.

the same size (or less). It is quite unexpected that they return a

It comes from both paste_selection() and tty_port_default_receive_buf()
as unsigned (int and size_t respectively). Switch to size_t to converge
to that eventually.
Return the count as size_t too (the two callers above expect that).
Switch paste_selection()'s type of 'count' too, so that the returned and
passed type match.

The struct tty_buffer has flags which is only used for storing TTYB_NORMAL.
There is also a few quite confusing operations for checking the presense
of TTYB_NORMAL. Simplify things by converting flags to bool.
Despite the name remaining the same, the meaning of "flags" is altered
slightly by this change. Previously it referred to flags of the buffer
(only TTYB_NORMAL being used as a flag). After this change, flags tell
whether the buffer contains/should be allocated with flags array along
with character data array. It is much more suitable name that
TTYB_NORMAL was for this purpose, thus the name remains.

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.0-rc1.
It was delayed from last week as I wanted to make sure the last commit
here got some good testing in linux-next and elsewhere as it seemed to
show up only late in testing for some reason.
Nothing major here, just lots of cleanups from Jiri and Ilpo to make
the tty core cleaner (Jiri) and the rs485 code simpler to use (Ilpo).
Also included in here is the obligatory n_gsm updates from Daniel
Starke and lots of tiny driver updates and minor fixes and tweaks for
other smaller serial drivers.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"

There is a race in pty_write(). pty_write() can be called in parallel
with e.g. ioctl(TIOCSTI) or ioctl(TCXONC) which also inserts chars to
the buffer. Provided, tty_flip_buffer_push() in pty_write() is called
outside the lock, it can commit inconsistent tail. This can lead to out
of bounds writes and other issues. See the Link below.
To fix this, we have to introduce a new helper called
tty_insert_flip_string_and_push_buffer(). It does both
tty_insert_flip_string() and tty_flip_buffer_commit() under the port
lock. It also calls queue_work(), but outside the lock. See
71a174b39f (pty: do tty_flip_buffer_push without port->lock in
pty_write) for the reasons.
Keep the helper internal-only (in drivers' tty.h). It is not intended to
be used widely.

When tty is not read from, XON/XOFF may get stuck into an
intermediate buffer. As those characters are there to do software
flow-control, it is not very useful. In the case where neither end
reads from ttys, the receiving ends might not be able receive the
XOFF characters and just keep sending more data to the opposite
direction. This problem is almost guaranteed to occur with DMA
which sends data in large chunks.
If TTY is slow to process characters, that is, eats less than given
amount in receive_buf, invoke lookahead for the rest of the chars
to process potential XON/XOFF characters.
We need to keep track of how many characters have been processed by the
lookahead to avoid processing the flow control char again on the normal
path. Bookkeeping occurs parallel on two layers (tty_buffer and n_tty)
to avoid passing the lookahead_count through the whole call chain.
When a flow-control char is processed, two things must occur:
a) it must not be treated as normal char
b) if not yet processed, flow-control actions need to be taken
The return value of n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl() tells caller a), and
b) is kept internal to n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl().
If characters were previous looked ahead, __receive_buf() makes two
calls to the appropriate n_tty_receive_buf_* function. First call is
made with lookahead_done=true for the characters that were subject to
lookahead earlier and then with lookahead=false for the new characters.
Either of the calls might be skipped when it has no characters to
handle.

pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print
failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by
syz-bot below:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(console_owner);
As commit dbdda842fe ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to
load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by
using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section
guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on the
kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing
printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant.
Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so
that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be
avoided.
Syzbot reported the following lockdep error:

Kernel-doc is a bit strict about some formatting. So fix these:
1) When there is a tab in comments, it thinks the line is a continuation
one. So the description of the functions end up as descriptions of
the last parameter described. Remove the tabs.
2) Remove newlines before parameters description and after the comments.
This was not wrong per se, only inconsistent with the rest of the
file.
3) Add periods to the end of sentences where appropriate.
4) Add "()" to function names and "%" to constants, so that they are
properly highlighted.
