From e4d38f334ad24f80229a8ebab26950de8e8f34d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2016 17:53:20 -0700 Subject: tty: Define ASYNC_ replacement bits Prepare for relocating kernel private state bits out of tty_port::flags field; tty_port::flags field is not atomic and can become corrupted by concurrent updates. It also suffers from the complication of sharing in a userspace-visible field which must be masked. Define new tty_port::iflags field and new, substitute bit definitions for the former ASYNC_* flags.
