Specifically it is the use of this code fragment
in the ISR of serial.c (2.4) and the various
drivers in driver/serial of 2.6:

if (unlikely(tty->flip.count >= TTY_FLIPBUF_SIZE)) {
	tty->flip.work.func((void *)tty);
	if (tty->flip.count >= TTY_FLIPBUF_SIZE)
		return; // if TTY_DONT_FLIP is set
}

in 2.4 it is

if (tty->flip.count >= TTY_FLIPBUF_SIZE) {
	tty->flip.tqueue.routine((void *) tty);
	if (tty->flip.count >= TTY_FLIPBUF_SIZE)
		return;		// if TTY_DONT_FLIP is set
}

tty->flip.work.func and tty->flip.tqueue.routine
are set to flush_to_ldisc()
