[PATCH 2/2] hso: fix deadlock when receiving bursts of data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When the module sends bursts of data, sometimes a deadlock happens in
the hso driver when the tty buffer doesn't get the chance to be flushed
quickly enough.

To avoid this, first, we remove the endless while loop in
put_rx_bufdata() which is the root cause of the deadlock.
Secondly, when there is no room anymore in the tty buffer, we set up a
timer of 100 msecs to give a chance to the upper layer to flush the tty
buffer and make room for new data.
