Greg, As before, this patchset is dependent on the 'ldsem patchset'. The reason is that this series abandons tty->receive_room as a flow control mechanism (because that requires locking), and the TIOCSETD ioctl _without ldsem_ uses tty->receive_room to shutoff i/o. It is also dependent on 'n_tty fixes' which I recently resent to you.Thanks for rebasing all of this, and resending it. It's late in the 3.11 development cycle, so I'm going to wait unto 3.11-rc1 is out to queue it up for 3.12, to get it lots of testing in linux-next.
Thanks Greg. I actually meant to suggest these be held until after the merge window but I got distracted by the VT1 deallocation bug report. Regards, Peter Hurley
