From: Paul Fulghum Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 09:33:38 +0000 (-0700) Subject: tty_set_ldisc() receive_room fix X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae030e435f5400cff77c52506a8d3d7278f0947c;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tty_set_ldisc() receive_room fix Fix tty_set_ldisc in tty_io.c so that tty->receive_room is only cleared if actually changing line disciplines. Without this fix a problem occurs when requesting the line discipline to change to the same line discipline. In this case tty->receive_room is cleared but ldisc->open() is not called to set tty->receive_room back to a sane value. The result is that tty->receive_room is stuck at 0 preventing the tty flip buffer from passing receive data to the line discipline. For example: a switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a select() call for read input results in data never being received because tty->receive_room is stuck at zero. A switch from N_TTY to N_TTY followed by a read() call works because the read() call itself sets tty->receive_room correctly (but select does not). Previously (< 2.6.18) this was not a problem because the tty flip buffer pushed data to the line discipline without regard for tty->receive room.
