From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Peter Hurley Subject: [PATCH 05/26] serial: core: Remove unsafe x_char optimization Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 17:39:14 -0400 Message-ID: <1409693975-1028-6-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> References: <1409693975-1028-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1409693975-1028-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Jiri Slaby , One Thousand Gnomes , linux-serial@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Peter Hurley List-Id: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org uart_unthrottle() attempts to avoid sending START and the previous x_char if the previous x_char has not yet been sent. However, this optimization could leave the sender in a throttled state; for example, if the sender is throttled and this unthrottle coincides with a manual tcflow(TCION) from user-space, then neither START would be sent.
