From: Alan Cox Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2009 15:39:41 +0000 (+0100) Subject: pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc3~49 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic This fixes the ppp problems and various other issues with call locking caused by one side of a pty called in one locking context trying to match another with differing rules on the other side. We also get a big slack space to work with that means we can bury the flow control deadlock case for any conceivable real world situation.
