Subject: [PATCH]tty: Incorrect use tty_ldisc_flush() in TTY drivers.
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 04:06:52 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50B4041C.9030002@ilyx.ru> (raw)
Sorry. Correct patch format.
Related bug 'tty: fix "IRQ45: nobody cared"'
Related commit 7b292b4bf9a9d6098440d85616d6ca4c608b8304
Unfortunately, some drivers indirectly call ldisc's flush_buffer() function
in own callback function close(). In particularly, by the use of tty_ldisc_flush(),
before TTY LAYER calls ldisc's flush_buffer() in the right moment.
1. It disturb the logic of work ldisc's layer.
2. It is simple overhead because we call ldisc's flush_buffer() at least two times.
Please, tell me what do you think about this? Can I make the adjustment for other drivers?
