In addition set a sane minimum for the max_read and max_write tunables, so I/O always makes some progress. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>...

Analyze and fix the following issue in the Linux kernel code: tty_ioctl: soft carrier handling
Problem Details: First cut at moving the soft carrier handling knowledge entirely into the core code. One or two drivers still needed to snoop these functions to track CLOCAL internally. Instead make TIOCSSOFTCAR generate the same driver calls as other termios ioctls changing the clocal flag. This allows us to remov...
