Subject: n_tty: Output bells immediately on a full buffer
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e94b1d9bffc18dca3b45554d9d118a3ffcc4d1b;p=linux-beck.git

n_tty: Output bells immediately on a full buffer

This patch causes "bell" (^G) characters (invoked when the input buffer
is full) to be immediately output rather than filling the echo buffer.

This is especially a problem when the tty is stopped and buffers fill, since
the bells do not serve their purpose of immediate notification that the
buffer cannot take further input, and they will flush all at once when the
tty is restarted.
