Subject: [PATCH] add receive_room flow control to flush_to_ldisc
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~449
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2c3bb20f46709a0adfa7ea408013edbcab945d5a;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] add receive_room flow control to flush_to_ldisc

Flush data serially to line discipline in blocks no larger than
tty->receive_room to avoid losing data if line discipline is busy (such as
N_TTY operating at high speed on heavily loaded system) or does not accept
data in large blocks (such as N_MOUSE).
