From 06c49f9fa31f026e00a15cc6487b4d8d99b0e333 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hurley Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:05:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] n_tty: Fix PARMRK over-throttling If PARMRK is enabled, the available read buffer space computation is overly-pessimistic, which results in severely throttled i/o, even in the absence of parity errors. For example, if the 4k read buffer contains 1k processed data, the input worker will compute available space of 333 bytes, despite 3k being available. At 1365 chars of processed data, 0 space available is computed. *Divide remaining space* by 3, truncating down (if left == 2, left = 0).
