UNTESTED so far, I want to know you opinion.

tty, centralize works

Schedule only one work for all works, use set_bit/test_and_clear_bit as a
logic. This is because of patch which would add yet another work for
scheduled wakeups. Now it is sufficient to add 3 lines of code.

tty, add tty_schedule_wakeup

Because several drivers schedule a workqueue only for tty_wakeup, move this
functionality into tty layer and use newly added centralized work.

Ah, thank you for the feedback, I should change this, since it seems to be
not so much descriptive.

Functionally the same as tty_wakeup, but it can be used in code, which is
expected to be fast and short (e.g. interrupt handler), since the wakeup is
scheduled and done in the future.

I want to use it in all char drivers, which schedules a work only for
tty_wakeup() calling, because they don't want to include more code in
interrupt handlers for example (if I understand the code correctly, e.g.
n_tty discipline may invoke whole fasync machinery on tty_wakeup call).

If somebody thinks it's not needed (or it's overkill), the other approach
comes -- change all wakeup schedules with simple tty_wakeup().

thanks.

I'm not familiar with the terminology 'hot paths',
what do you mean by that?

Do you have an example of where you intend to
use this new facility? The patch does not include
such an example so it is difficult for me to see
why you are adding this function.

I've no idea why any drivers do this. A tty_wakeup is very fast and it
won't (when called from an IRQ) reschedule anything until the IRQ is over
(in the RT kernel case it might do stuff but thats *because* it should do
so).

I think just using tty_wakeup for this ought to be sufficient unless they
are using the work queue for some kind of serialization of events

Actually this is what I wanted to hear. Going to change those which does it.
