From 33b37a33c242542fac2980b8ccd90977388b7a8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Fulghum Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 04:26:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] remove active field from tty buffer structure Remove 'active' field from tty buffer structure. This was added in 2.6.16 as part of a patch to make the new tty buffering SMP safe. This field is unnecessary with the more intelligently written flush_to_ldisc that adds receive_room handling. Removing this field reverts to simpler logic where the tail buffer is always the 'active' buffer, which should not be freed by flush_to_ldisc. (active == buffer being filled with new data) The result is simpler, smaller, and faster tty buffer code.
