The patch titled tty: flush flip buffer on ldisc input queue flush has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was tty-flush-flip-buffer-on-ldisc-input-queue-flush.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: tty: flush flip buffer on ldisc input queue flush From: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Flush the tty flip buffer when the line discipline input queue is flushed, including the user call tcflush(TCIFLUSH/TCIOFLUSH). This prevents unexpected stale data after a user application calls tcflush().
