jsm: remove buggy write queue
jsm uses a write queue that copies from uart_core circular buffer. This copying however has some bugs, like not wrapping the head counter. Since this write queue is also a circular buffer, the consumer function is ready to use the uart_core circular buffer directly. This buggy copying function was making some bytes be dropped when transmitting to a raw tty, doing something like this. [root@hostname ~]$ cat /dev/ttyn1 > cascardo/dump & [1] 2658 [root@hostname ~]$ cat /proc/tty/drivers > /dev/ttyn0 [root@hostname ~]$ cat /proc/tty/drivers /dev/tty /dev/tty 5 0 system:/dev/tty /dev/console /dev/console 5 1 system:console /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx 5 2 system /dev/vc/0 /dev/vc/0 4 0 system:vtmaster jsm /dev/ttyn 250 0-31 serial serial /dev/ttyS 4 64-95 serial hvc /dev/hvc 229 0-7 system pty_slave /dev/pts 136 0-1048575 pty:slave pty_master /dev/ptm 128 0-1048575 pty:master unknown /dev/tty 4 1-63 console [root@hostname ~]$ cat cascardo/dump /dev/tty /dev/tty 5 0 system:/dev/tty /dev/console /dev/console 5 1 system:console /dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx 5 2 system /dev/vc/0 /dev/vc/0 4 0 system:vtmaste[root@hostname ~]$ This patch drops the driver write queue entirely, using the circular buffer from uart_core only.
