Termios and termios_locked for example could live in the tty_port as the physical tty is incapable of having multiple sets of terminal data at once. Really though this looks to me like *MASSIVE* churn for now purpose. Create a tty_struct kernel side, and use that, the needed patch is then tiny. so IMHO NAK Alan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
