Message-Id: <1154696242.23655.220.camel@localhost.localdomain>
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2006 13:57:22 +0100
From: Alan Cox <alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk>
To: akpm@...l.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org
Subject: PATCH: Fix tty layer DoS and comment relevant code
Unlike the other tty comment patch this one has code changes.
Specifically it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters
(128Kbytes) worst case even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This
is because certain drivers don't honour the throttle value correctly,
although it is a useful safeguard anyway.
