Subject: [PATCH 4/4] UML - Work around host tcsetattr bug
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:04:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071128190440.GA8313@c2.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
Under the conditions that UML uses it, tcgetattr is guaranteed to
return -EINTR when the console is attached to /dev/ptmx, making
generic_console_write hang because it loops, calling tcgetattr until
it succeeds. This is a host bug - see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119618990807182&w=2 for the
details.
This patch works around it by blocking SIGIO while the terminal
attributes are being fiddled.
