Subject[PATCH v3 4/6] n_tty: Fix unordered accesses to lockless read buffer
Date
Add commit_head buffer index, which the producer-side publishes
after input processing in non-canon mode. This ensures the consumer-side
observes correctly-ordered writes in non-canonical mode (ie., the buffer
data is written before the buffer index is advanced). Fix consumer-side
uses of read_cnt() to use commit_head instead.

Add required memory barriers to the tail index to guarantee
the consumer-side has completed the loads before the producer-side
begins writing new data. Open-code the producer-side receive_room()
into the i/o loop.

Remove no-longer-referenced receive_room().

Based on work by Christian Riesch <christian.riesch@omicron.at>

---

Changes from v2:
* Depends on "n_tty: Eliminate receive_room() from consumer/exclusive paths"
and "n_tty: Simplify throttle threshold calculation". This eliminates
receive_room() completely, which avoids the complication of accessing
the 'opposed' buffer index from this shared code path (or unnecessarily
duplicating it).
* Moves the relevant comments from receive_room() to the producer i/o loop
in n_tty_receive_buf_common()

Changes from v1:
* Remove read_tail accesses completely from n_tty_receive_buf_real_raw().
The computation for copy size does not require the read_cnt() since
count is already <= available buffer space.
* commit_head is only published in non-canonical mode. The index is
synced if the mode is changed in n_tty_set_termios. This becomes
relevant for a follow-on fix that must back up the read_head in
canon mode.
* receive_room() in the producer-side i/o loop is open-coded to
enable smp_load_acquire() of read_tail. (see updated commit log)
* ACCESS_ONCE()s removed according to my own review of v1. I can
expand on the analysis of each of those if someone would like.
* Stuck with the read_head accesses from exclusive access functions
like n_tty_set_termios() and n_tty_ioctl() (instead of the v1 usage
of commit_head)
