From ff8cb0fd6f195389aefe55d5dac9927d09a9de54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Pfaff Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2009 13:47:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tty: N_TTY SIGIO only works for read The N_TTY ldisc layer does not send SIGIO POLL_OUTs correctly when output is possible due to flawed handling of the TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP bit. It will either send no SIGIOs at all or on every tty wakeup. The fix is to set the bit when the tty driver write would block and test and clear it on write wakeup.
