This series switches tty serial layer to use kfifo instead of circ_buf. Excerpt from the switching patch: """ Switch from struct circ_buf to proper kfifo. kfifo provides much better API, esp. when wrap-around of the buffer needs to be taken into account. Look at pl011_dma_tx_refill() or cpm_uart_tx_pump() changes for example. Kfifo API can also fill in scatter-gather DMA structures, so it easier for that use case too. Look at lpuart_dma_tx() for example. Note that not all drivers can be converted to that (like atmel_serial), they handle DMA specially. Note that usb-serial uses kfifo for TX for ages. """ This is Request for Testing as I cannot test all the changes (obviously). So please test your HW's serial properly. And of course comments welcome. I will send this as PATCHes later, when -rc1 is out, at earliest.
