[RFC] cr: pty: don't use required_id, change ptmx_open()

Serge E. Hallyn serue at us.ibm.com
Wed Sep 2 16:31:11 PDT 2009


Ok so here is the patch to do unix98 pty restore by making
invasive changes to ptmx_open() instead of using
task_struct->required_id to pass an index.  Patch generated
against the cr tree with the original pty patches, as I
assume that will be easier to read.

Break ptmx_open() into a ptmx_create() which is used both
by ptmx_open itself, and fs/devpts/inode.c:open_create_pty().
The latter function is used only during sys_restart() when
a unix98 pty must be restored.

Either with or without this patch, the pty test at
	git://git.sr71.net/~hallyn/cr_tests.git
under the pty/ directory.  The question then is which is
a more likely approach to be acceptable upstream.  The
task->required_id approach is imo 'hacky', but it actually
does a much better job of re-using existing helpers, and
therefore is more maintainable.  So part of me DOES prefer
the original required_id approach.

This is purely RFC, so comments very much appreciated.
