To be honest, I didn't like it either but just couldn't find another way... That is, not until now that you pushed. I think I can add lookahead_count into n_tty_data, then both layers (n_tty and tty_buffer) that depend on it will indepedently keep track of it rather than passing it through the whole callchain. > > /* Returns true if c is consumed as flow-control character */ > > -static bool n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned char c) > > +static bool n_tty_receive_char_flow_ctrl(struct tty_struct *tty, unsigned char c, > > + bool lookahead_done) > > { > > if (!n_tty_is_char_flow_ctrl(tty, c)) > > return false; > > > > + if (lookahead_done) > > + return true; > > Why would this function be called if this option was true? Agreed, it makes sense to move the check before call (and then I also don't need to reorganize this function anymore). > the overall idea is good, this implementation isn't quite there yet. Thanks for taking a look. -- i.
