(CC: ltp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx because Petr did so.) Hi Jiry, Thanks for finding this! Your patch looks correct to me, so please have a Reviewed-by: Max Staudt <max@xxxxxxxxx> for both this patch to slcan, as well as an 1:1 patch to can327. Some history: This is actually my code from can327, which was backported to slcan as part of Dario's larger modernisation effort. The rationale for moving it was to flush the UART TX buffer in case of ndo_close(), in order to bring the device into a more predictable state between ndo_close() and ndo_open(). I guess that's actually counterproductive - whatever is in the TX buffer at that time should likely be fully sent. For example, can327 sends one last byte to abort any running chatty monitoring mode from the adapter. So your patch also fixes this as well ;) Of course, this resulted in calling flush_worker() in both ndo_stop() and ldisc_close(), so I wanted to avoid code duplication, and relied on ndo_stop(). Oops. Thanks, Max
