Here is an archived version of the email thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg06104.html I'll also copy and paste my patch here: Currently, serial drivers don't report buffer overruns. When a buffer overrun occurs, tty_insert_flip_char returns 0, and no attempt is made to insert that same character again (i.e. it is lost). This patch reports buffer overruns via the buf_overrun field in the port's icount structure.
