The patch titled serial: don't optimise away baud rate changes when BOTHER is used has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is dont-optimise-away-baud-rate-changes-when-bother-is-used.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: serial: don't optimise away baud rate changes when BOTHER is used From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed. Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed. So if the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change gets optimised away. This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed. Those integers are always set appropriately for us by set_termios().
