Tetsuo HandaandGreg Kroah-Hartman c0070e1e60 ttyprintk: Add TTY hangup callback.
syzbot is reporting hung task due to flood of

  tty_warn(tty, "%s: tty->count = 1 port count = %d\n", __func__,
           port->count);

message [1], for ioctl(TIOCVHANGUP) prevents tty_port_close() from
decrementing port->count due to tty_hung_up_p() == true.

----------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int i;
	int fd[10];

	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		fd[i] = open("/dev/ttyprintk", O_WRONLY);
	ioctl(fd[0], TIOCVHANGUP);
	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		close(fd[i]);
	close(open("/dev/ttyprintk", O_WRONLY));
	return 0;
}
----------

When TTY hangup happens, port->count needs to be reset via
"struct tty_operations"->hangup callback.

Paul GortmakerandGreg Kroah-Hartman db50d2f65b drivers/char: don't use module_init in non-modular ttyprintk.c
The TTY_PRINTK option is bool, and hence this code is either
present or absent.  It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- it will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.

Jiri SlabyandGreg Kroah-Hartman 191c5f1027 TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers
After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.

To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

Jiri SlabyandGreg Kroah-Hartman 0019b4089c TTY: add support for unnumbered device nodes
This allows drivers like ttyprintk to avoid hacks to create an
unnumbered node in /dev. It used to set TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV in
flags and call device_create on its own. That is incorrect, because
TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV may be set only if tty_register_device is
called explicitly.
