[PATCH] tty: Add driver unthrottle in ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..).

From: Ilya Zykov
Date: Wed Nov 21 2012 - 16:19:50 EST


Revert 'tty: fix "IRQ45: nobody cared"'

This revert commit 7b292b4bf9a9d6098440d85616d6ca4c608b8304

Function reset_buffer_flags() also invoked during the
ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..). At the time of request we can have full buffers
and throttled driver too. If we don't unthrottle driver, we can get
forever throttled driver, because after request, we will have
empty buffers and throttled driver and there is no place to unthrottle driver.
It simple reproduce with "pty" pair then one side sleep on tty->write_wait,
and other side do ioctl(...,TCFLSH,..). Then there is no place to do writers wake up.

About 'tty: fix "IRQ45: nobody cared"':
We don't call tty_unthrottle() if release last filp - ('tty->count == 0')
In other case it must be safely. Maybe we have bug in other place.
