From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d7fe75cbc23c7d225eee2ef04def239b6603dce7 upstream. The ICANON case is a bit messy, since it has to look for the line ending, and has special code to then suppress line ending characters if they match the __DISABLED_CHAR. So it actually looks up the line ending even past the point where it knows it won't copy it to the result buffer. That said, apart from all those odd legacy N_TTY ICANON cases, the actual "should we continue copying" logic isn't really all that complicated or different from the non-canon case. In fact, the lack of "wait for at least N characters" arguably makes the repeat case slightly simpler. It really just boils down to "there's more of the line to be copied". So add the necessarily trivial logic, and now the N_TTY case will give long result lines even when in canon mode.
