To fix this error:

  pty02.c:42: BROK: tcsetattr() failed: EINVAL

POSIX.1 General description:

  a tcsetattr(). tcsetattr() should never be issued using a termios
  structure that was not obtained using tcgetattr(). tcsetattr() should

[LTP] [PATCH] pty: using tcgetattr() to get attributes before re-setting it

[Xiao Yang]

Hi Li,

We found other issues by running pty02:
1) The undefined EXTPROC flag led to complier error on RHEL5/6.
2) Based on the fix, reading pts blocked on RHEL6 because we didn't write newline('\n') to ptmx,
    but it worked well on RHEL7.  I am not sure which kernel patch changed this behavior.
    According canonical mode description:
        In canonical mode:
        * Input is made available line by line.  An input line is available when one of the line
          delimiters is typed (NL, EOL, EOL2; or EOF at the start of line).  Except in the case of EOF,
          the line delimiter is included in the buffer returned by read(2).
3) Based on the fix, tcsetattr(3) cannot detect invalid EXTPROC flag on RHEL5/6.

Thanks,
Xiao Yang

AFAIK, values of the c_lflag field describe the control of various
functions in struct termios,
but it not defined in POSIX and not supported under all Linux. So
​
tcsetattr() cannot detect valid EXTPROC on RHEL5/6 is acceptable I think.
Also, the ICANON has different behavior on some kind of UNIX OS too.

To solve these problem, maybe we have to define the EXTPROC in lapi, and
skip this test on kernel without that support.

That's what I can think of, if anything wrong, plz correct me.

Thanks,
Li Wang

[LTP] [PATCH] pty: using tcgetattr() to get attributes before re-setting it

[Cyril Hrubis]

Hi!
I'm looking into these patches now, so if I get it right we should:

* Add EXTPROC into lapi
* Get the termios value, or it with the requested flags, then apply
  tcsetattr()
* Exit the test with TCONF if we get EINVAL from tcsetattr()

Would that work for both of you?

Thanks for taking care of this.

I think that's right.

But maybe we have to handle the ICANON nonuniform behavior too.

As YangXiao mentioned that, reading pts will be blocked on rhel6 forever if
we don't give
newline('\n') to ptmx, but this issue not exist on rhel7.

To avoid the block issue we can just add newline('\n') in the test
forwardly, I have confirmed that
won't have any impact on the bug's reproducible in bad(< kernel-4.15)
kernel.
I will resend a new patch to fix all these issues above.
