Subject: Re: n_tty: Check the other end of pty pair before returning EAGAIN
 on a read()

Hi Peter, I saw Marc Aurele La France's proposed patch to n_tty to fix
OpenSSH, and your feedback. Patch below is an attempt to address that
feedback. Please let me know if this is the change you envisioned;
(see Marc's excellent original writeup for details on the issue).

[PATCH] n_tty: wait for buffer work in read() and poll().

Undoes the following four changes:

1) f95499c3030fe1bfad57745f2db1959c5b43dca8
    n_tty: Don't wait for buffer work in read() loop

2) f8747d4a466ab2cafe56112c51b3379f9fdb7a12
    tty: Fix pty master read() after slave closes

3) 52bce7f8d4fc633c9a9d0646eef58ba6ae9a3b73
    pty, n_tty: Simplify input processing on final close

4) 1a48632ffed61352a7810ce089dc5a8bcd505a60
    pty: Fix input race when closing

These changes caused a regression in OpenSSH, as it assumes that the
first read() to return EAGAIN after a SIGCHLD means that all the child's
output has been returned.

Inspired by analysis and patch from Marc Aurele La France <tsi@...oix.net>
