Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:55:37 -0500 From: Seth Bollinger <sethb@...i.com> To: <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, <jslaby@...e.cz> CC: <linux-serial@...r.kernel.org>, <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, <peter@...leysoftware.com>, Seth Bollinger <sethb@...i.com> Subject: [PATCH] serial_core: Fix conditional start_tx on ring buffer not empty If the serial_core ring buffer empties just as the tty layer receives an XOFF, then start_tx will never be called when the tty layer receives an XON as the serial_core ring buffer is empty. This will possibly leave a few bytes trapped in the fifo for drivers that disable the transmitter when flow controlled.
