Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the tty tree with the tree

Hi Greg,

Today's linux-next merge of the tty tree got a conflict in
drivers/char/n_tty.c between commit
37f81fa1f63ad38e16125526bb2769ae0ea8d332 ("n_tty: do O_ONLCR translation
as a single write") from Linus' tree and commit
bb2d17d83926bf9d70b922031aeb49ca896e0b3d ("tty: n_tty: honor opost flag
for echoes") from the tty tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix for a while.

Hmm. I think that the "honor opost flag for echoes" patch is actually
wrong.

We check O_OPOST() in the _caller_ for the regular write case, and that
test actually looks like this:

if (O_OPOST(tty) && !(test_bit(TTY_HW_COOK_OUT, &tty->flags))) {

so at a minimum, if we add it to process_output() we should likely add it
in the same format. But if we need that test, I'd rather do it in the
caller anyway, like we already do for regular writes.

So maybe the patch could be changed to something (UNTESTD!) like the
following instead? And thus avoid the conflict at the same time.

Thanks for doing this, I'll drop the patch from my tree and wait for you
to test and resubmit this.

No problem, Greg - see the two resubmitted patch parts I just sent
out; and please excuse the double send (munged the addresses on the
lists).
