SubjectRE: [PATCH 2/2] hso: fix deadlock when receiving bursts of data
Date
From: Olivier Sobrie
> When the module sends bursts of data, sometimes a deadlock happens in

> To avoid this, first, we remove the endless while loop in

> Secondly, when there is no room anymore in the tty buffer, we set up a

What is the timer for?
You need to get the sending code woken up by the urb completion.
