I did check this "overflow code" in new tty driver's code. This code looks like just removed. But somehow overflow in the tty buffer must be kept. The new tty layer manages memory allocation dynamically and handles overflows itself. Just throw data at it and the right thing will occur in current kernels. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
