I thought you were going to wrap these up in a tty_*() macro instead of
open-coding it everywhere?  That way you can change how those
bits/features are represented in the future, which is what I thought you
wanted to do?

Even if you don't want to do that, something like:

static inline int tty_is_io_error(struct tty_struct *tty)
{
	return test_bit(TTY_IO_ERROR, &tty->flags);
}

and then this patch would just be:
		if (tty_is_io_error(tty))

Or something like that, I'm not sold on the name, I'm sure you can pick
a better one :)

Sound reasonable?

I'll not apply this patch in the series for now.

thanks,
