The problem was caused by a race between reader and kworker: n_tty_read(reader): n_tty_receive_buf_common(kworker): copy_from_read_buf()| |room = N_TTY_BUF_SIZE - (ldata->read_head - tail) |room <= 0 n_tty_kick_worker() | |ldata->no_room = true After writing to slave device, writer wakes up kworker to flush data on tty_port to reader, and the kworker finds that reader has no room to store data so room <= 0 is met. At this moment, reader consumes all the data on reader buffer and calls n_tty_kick_worker to check ldata->no_room which is false and reader quits reading. Then kworker sets ldata->no_room=true and quits too. If write buffer is not full, writer will wake kworker to flush data again after following writes, but if write buffer is full and writer goes to sleep, kworker will never be woken again and tty device is blocked. This problem can be solved with a check for read buffer size inside n_tty_receive_buf_common, if read buffer is empty and ldata->no_room is true, a call to n_tty_kick_worker is necessary to keep flushing data to reader.
