Where do you check that the tty has enough space ?

In all these ERR cases what stops a remote device from having fun spewing
garbage at you and filling the log ?

Shouldn't be driver specific hacks in the ldisc surely - or is the ldisc
only applicable to a specific single bit of hardware ?

That sort of thing shouldn't be buried in the depths of a driver. I'm not
entirely averse to that sort of thing but it belongs in a helper in the
tty layer.

Refcounting ?

You can't go around mashing driver internal values - many drivers don't
support low_latency mode and this will make them crash.

[Because otherwise after a SET_LDISC there may be bits from the old stuff
 left over - this one will go away as I finish the ldisc switching
 rewrite that is in the ttydev tree]

Again you want a refcount on these I suspect. You may actually be safe
anyway but it would be cleaner to take/drop refs.

If that is NULL it's a serious bug so WARN on it I think

This will break default ioctl processing. You probably want to call into
some of the generic handlers at this point depending upon your hardware.
Either way -EINVAL is wrong.

Unreachable

I don't think the above is meant to be there....
