The ICANON case is a bit messy, since it has to look for the line ending, and has special code to then suppress line ending characters if they match the __DISABLED_CHAR. So it actually looks up the line ending even past the point where it knows it won't copy it to the result buffer. That said, apart from all those odd legacy N_TTY ICANON cases, the actual "should we continue copying" logic isn't really all that complicated or different from the non-canon case. In fact, the lack of "wait for at least N characters" arguably makes the repeat case slightly simpler. It really just boils down to "there's more of the line to be copied". So add the necessarily trivial logic, and now the N_TTY case will give long result lines even when in canon mode. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
