commit 320f9028c7873c3c7710e8e93e5c979f4c857490 upstream.
The driver did not update its view of the available device buffer space
until write() was called in task context. This meant that write_room()
would return 0 even after the device had sent a write-unthrottle
notification, something which could lead to blocked writers not being
woken up (e.g. when using OPOST).
Note that we must also request an unthrottle notification is case a
write() request fills the device buffer exactly.

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.
