I seem to have run into a problem which people have been
pointing out for years, but never gets fixed.

In tty_driver.h, the low-level driver routine wait_until_set()
function takes an "int" as a timeout value:

But, in tty_ioclt.c in the tty_wait_unti_sent() function, the
timeout is a "long":

[...]

This is fine on 32-bit systems, where "int" and "long" are
equivalent, but it results in breakage on 64-bit systems.

Is this not the correct forum in which to report bugs in the
tty layer code?
