From d904ffd6e0c3ab7631b07c21c9f9234a2e72d1f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 12:08:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix Specialix SX corruption With the latest kernels, I experienced some strange corruption, some '*****' being randomly inserted in the character flow, like this: ashes:~# ashes:~# a*******shes:~# ashes:~# ashes:~# Further investigation shows that the problem was introduced during Alan's "TTY layer buffering revamp" patch, the amount of data to be copied being reduced after buffer allocation. Moving the count fixup around solves the problem.
