TPM: fix suspend and resume failure

2008-01-14T16:52:22Z

The savestate command structure was being overwritten by the result of running the TPM_SaveState command after one run, so make it a local variable to the function instead of a global variable that gets overwritten.

pl2303: Fix mode switching regression

2008-01-09T00:16:34Z

Cleaning out all the incorrect 'no change made' checks for termios settings showed up a problem with the PL2303. The hardware here seems to lose sync and bits if you tell it to make no changes. This shows up with a real world application. To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

tty: fix logic change introduced by wait_event_interruptible_timeout()

2007-12-23T20:54:37Z

Commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8 introduced a subtle logic change in tty_wait_until_sent(). The original version would only error out of the 'do { ... } while (timeout)' loop if signal_pending() evaluated to true; a timeout or break due to an empty buffer would fall out of the loop and into the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling. The current implementation will error out on either a pending signal or an empty buffer, falling through to the tty->driver->wait_until_sent handling only on a timeout. The ->wait_until_sent() will not be reached if the buffer empties before timeout jiffies have elapsed. This behavior differs from that prior to commit 5a52bd4a2dcb570333ce6fe2e16cd311650dbdc8. I turned this up while using a little serial download utility to bootstrap an ARM-based eval board. The util worked fine on 2.6.22.x, but consistently failed on 2.6.23.x. Once I'd determined that, I narrowed things down with git bisect, and found the above difference in logic in tty_wait_until_sent() by inspection. This change reverts the logic flow in tty_wait_until_sent() to match that prior to the aforementioned commit. Signed-off-by: Cory T.
