Especially on this I would like to see feedback. Unlock and lock the spinlock just around the tty_flip_buffer_push would be much more easier, but won't it break anything?
-- nozomi, fix tty_flip_buffer_push tty_flip_buffer_push call may deadlock when invoking it while holding spinlock used in e.g. throttle too. Nozomi sets low_latency tty and that means, that ldisc flush will be called immediately and it can call some nozomi functions back. Solve it by invoking tty_flip_buffer_push after releasing the spinlock.
