OK, this is a kernel problem with send_break() in tty_io.c
Original:
static int send_break(struct tty_struct *tty, int duration)
{
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
tty->driver->break_ctl(tty, -1);
if (!signal_pending(current))
schedule_timeout(duration);
tty->driver->break_ctl(tty, 0);
if (signal_pending(current))
return -EINTR;
return 0;
}
The USB serial driver break_ctl() sends a URB which does
a sleep and wakeup changing the task state back to TASK_RUNNING.
Because of this, schedule_timeout() above gets short circuited
and the break condition is not maintained long enough.
The normal serial driver break_ctl() leaves the task state
as TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE so you get the proper delay.
Thomas: try the patch below and let me know the results.
