Console as in the printk sense would then loop.
If you are going to do the flow control you should probably do something
like
write_room()
{
if (!flow_controlled)
space = 8192;
return space;
}
write()
{
space -= len;
}
then your flow control will behave properly and slow down users rather
than losing data (except stuff sent without blocking)
