From b1ffb4c851f185e9051ba837c16d9b84ef688d26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Worsley Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:13:33 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] USB: Fix Corruption issue in USB ftdi driver ftdi_sio.c Fix for ftdi_set_termios() glitching output ftdi_set_termios() is constantly setting the baud rate, data bits and parity unnecessarily on every call, . When called while characters are being transmitted can cause the FTDI chip to corrupt the serial port bit stream output by stalling the output half a bit during the output of a character. Simple fix by skipping this setting if the baud rate/data bits/parity are unchanged. Signed-off-by: Andrew Worsley Cc: stable ---- I had a brief run with strace on the getty and it was doing ioctl()s on each call but it didn't look relavant to the problem. I think the issue is that XON/XOFF flow control was being implmented via hardware - for the ixoff to allow the user to use XON/XOFF to control output. Unfortunately it would send 3 Control URBs updating all of the settings after each piece of input I am trying to work around the issue of gmail messing with the tab/spacing by submitting via SMTP via gmail which I believe should fix the issue. The patch is against v3.2-rc2 and compiles - but no additional testing in this kernel has been done. Thanks Andrew Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-format-patch failed
