* tty: use the new 'flush_delayed_work()' helper to do ldisc flushLinus Torvalds2009-10-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | This way all flush_to_ldisc work is always done through the workqueues, and we thus have a single point of serialization. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* pty: avoid forcing 'low_latency' tty flagOGAWA Hirofumi2009-07-291-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We really don't want to mark the pty as a low-latency device, because as Alan points out, the ->write method can be called from an IRQ (ppp?), and that means we can't use ->low_latency=1 as we take mutexes in the low_latency case. So rather than using low_latency to force the written data to be pushed to the ldisc handling at 'write()' time, just make the reader side (or the poll function) do the flush when it checks whether there is data to be had. This also fixes the problem with lost data in an emacs compile buffer (bugzilla 13815), and we can thus revert the low_latency pty hack (commit 3a54297478e6578f96fd54bf4daa1751130aca86: "pty: quickfix for the pty ENXIO timing problems").

* tty: split the buffering from tty_ioAlan Cox2008-10-131-0/+511
The two are basically independent chunks of code so lets split them up for readability and sanity. It also makes the API boundaries much clearer. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
