Subject: [PATCH]tty: Incorrect use tty_ldisc_flush() in TTY drivers.
Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2012 22:42:46 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50AFC3A6.7010308@ilyx.ru> (raw)

This patch correct tty serial drivers.

Unfortunately, many drivers indirectly call ldisc's flush_buffer() function 
in own callback function close(). Рarticularly, 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.
