From b8b345bae8cb6745f2afdd28bb2d93f9cf0d7f2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ivo Sieben Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:35:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] TTY: Report warning when low_latency flag is wrongly used When a driver has the low_latency flag set and uses the schedule_flip() function to initiate copying data to the line discipline, a workqueue is scheduled in but never actually flushed. This is incorrect use of the low_latency flag (driver should not support the low_latency flag, or use the tty_flip_buffer_push() function instead). Make sure a warning is reported to catch incorrect use of the low_latency flag.
