Hi,
The v2 renames set_selection() and do_set_selection() to following
more explicit names:
set_selection_user() /* includes copying data from user space */
set_selection_kernel() /* no copying from user space */
The patches also update references to set_selection() to be
set_selection_user().
Original intro:
Speakup's selection functionality parallels that of
drivers/tty/vt/selection.c. This patch set replaces speakup's
implementation with calls to vt's selection code. This is one of the
remaining items in our TODO file and it's needed for moving speakup out
of staging.
Please note that in speakup selection is set inside interrupt context of
keyboard handler. Set selection code in vt happens in process context
and hence expects ability to sleep. To address this, there were two
options: farm out speakup's set selection into a work_struct thread, or
create atomic version of vt's set_selection. These patches implement
the former option.
Here's a summary:
Patch 1 re-arranges code in vt and exports some functions.
Patch 2 replaces speakup's selection code with calls to vt's functions
exported in patch 1.
Thanks,
Okash
This patch breaks set_selection() into two functions so that when
called from kernel, copy_from_user() can be avoided. The two functions
are called set_selection_user() and set_selection_kernel() in order to
be explicit about their purposes. This also means updating any
references to set_selection() and fixing for name change. It also
exports set_selection_kernel() and paste_selection().
These changes are used the following patch where speakup's selection
functionality calls into the above functions, thereby doing away with
parallel implementation.

1.8.3.1
This patch replaces speakup's implementations with calls to functions
in tty/vt/selection.c. Those functions are:
cancel_selection()
set_selection_kernel()
paste_selection()
Currently setting selection is done in interrupt context. However,
set_selection_kernel() can sleep - for instance, it requires console_lock
which can sleep. Therefore we offload that work to a work_struct thread,
following the same pattern which was already set for paste_selection().
When setting selection, we also get a reference to tty and make sure to
release the reference before returning.
struct speakup_paste_work has been renamed to the more generic
speakup_selection_work because it is now used for both pasting as well
as setting selection. When paste work is cancelled, the code wasn't
setting tty to NULL. This patch also fixes that by setting tty to NULL
so that in case of failure we don't get EBUSY forever.
