Does cdns_uart_stop_tx() actually stop the transmitter so that data remains in the transmitter? > Signed-off-by: Soren Brinkmann > --- > drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c | 6 +++--- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c b/drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c > index 2c98c357d9a0..df6778d17949 100644 > --- a/drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c > +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/xilinx_uartps.c > @@ -512,9 +512,6 @@ static void cdns_uart_start_tx(struct uart_port *port) > { > unsigned int status, numbytes = port->fifosize; > > - if (uart_circ_empty(&port->state->xmit) || uart_tx_stopped(port)) > - return; The test for tx stopped needs to remain; otherwise, transmission will restart even if the tty has been stopped (for example by userspace or IXON software flow control).
