Subject: [PATCH] tty: Fix tcdrain hang due to tty chars_in_buffer errors
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:07:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247843274-7462-1-git-send-email-jeff_harris@kentrox.com> (raw)

If a tty driver's chars_in_buffer callback reports an error, the wait loop in
tty_wait_until_sent may never exit until its timeout.  A tty device
disconnection will hangup the tty causing the tty_wait_until_sent loop to
wake-up, but if the subsequent call to chars_in_buffer reports an error
instead of zero, the loop will go back to sleep instead of exiting.

A process calling tcdrain will block indefinitely if it calls tcdrain when the
device is disconnected.
