Thanks for this, which confirms that roughly 10.4ms elapses from kworker schedule (of input into nearly empty tty buffers) to throttle notification. The premature unthrottle actually leads to the data loss but the throttling with a mere 2K left is _way too late_. 10ms is a _really_ long time for a cpu not to attend to a kworker. Which raises 2 questions: 1. What are the termios settings of the tty receiving input? Is it 'raw' mode or typical terminal mode (icanon, echo, etc.) or something else? 2. Are there RT threads that are hogging cpu time?
