Subject: Re: TTY loosing data with u_serial gadget

Can you try this:

I tried it and the console is working again.
There is still an problem on heavy load transfer from host to gadget.
I attached the patch to fix also this problem.

diff --git a/drivers/tty/n_tty.c b/drivers/tty/n_tty.c

                 memcpy(tty->read_buf + tty->read_head, cp, i);
                 tty->read_head = (tty->read_head + i) & (N_TTY_BUF_SIZE-1);
                 tty->read_cnt += i;

                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&tty->read_lock, cpuflags);
         } else {
                 ret = count;

With this patch I was able to transfer gigabytes without lost data.
