tty: Serialize tty flow control changes with flow_lock
Without serialization, the flow control state can become inverted
wrt. the actual hardware state. For example,
CPU 0 | CPU 1
stop_tty() |
lock ctrl_lock |
tty->stopped = 1 |
unlock ctrl_lock |
| start_tty()
| lock ctrl_lock
| tty->stopped = 0
| unlock ctrl_lock
| driver->start()
driver->stop() |
In this case, the flow control state now indicates the tty has
been started, but the actual hardware state has actually been stopped.
Introduce tty->flow_lock spinlock to serialize tty flow control changes.
Split out unlocked __start_tty()/__stop_tty() flavors for use by
ioctl(TCXONC) in follow-on patch.
