| |
[I have now gone back to 2.6.30.3 and the writes to the ptys do block there, so it's a recent regression.]
First noticed it after upgrading to v2.6.31-rc5-246-g90bc1a6, still happens in rc5-381-g7b2aa03. If i press ^S in an xterm the output stops as expected, but after a ^Q i see only the newly written data, everything in between is lost. Like:
> for i in `seq 1 111`; do echo $i; sleep 1; done 1 2 3 4 9 10 11 12 13 ^C
[typed ^S after '4', then ^Q after a few seconds]
If the command doing the printing exits before the ^Q is sent, i don't get any reaction to the ^Q at all, which is why i initially thought it to be an xserver bug. Text consoles are unaffected, output resumes as it should.
