Was it really the 17th I sent the second set out - apparently so - so ignore the first email, this is the correct patch set. > > +int tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag(struct tty_struct *tty, > > + const unsigned char *chars, char flag, size_t size) > > { > > int copied = 0; > > do { > > + int goal = min(size - copied, TTY_BUFFER_PAGE); > > This variable isn't used in this function. > > > int space = tty_buffer_request_room(tty, goal); Its used here. The logic basically is goal = { I want a buffer to hold "size - copied" { I want it to fit in one page space = what I get back we copy space and move on based on what we get back, so it looks correct to me. > > memcpy(tb->char_buf_ptr + tb->used, chars, space); > > - memset(tb->flag_buf_ptr + tb->used, TTY_NORMAL, space); > > + memset(tb->flag_buf_ptr + tb->used, flag, space); > > Should you have "goal" here instead of "space"? No because we could ask for say 500 and get 250 back, we then want to copy 250.
