n_tty: Fix read buffer overwrite when no newline
In canon mode, the read buffer head will advance over the buffer tail if the input > 4095 bytes without receiving a line termination char. Discard additional input until a line termination is received. Before evaluating for overflow, the 'room' value is normalized for I_PARMRK and 1 byte is reserved for line termination (even in !icanon mode, in case the mode is switched). The following table shows the transform: actual buffer | 'room' value before overflow calc space avail | !I_PARMRK | I_PARMRK -------------------------------------------------- 0 | -1 | -1 1 | 0 | 0 2 | 1 | 0 3 | 2 | 0 4+ | 3 | 1 When !icanon or when icanon and the read buffer contains newlines, normalized 'room' values of -1 and 0 are clamped to 0, and 'overflow' is 0, so read_head is not adjusted and the input i/o loop exits (setting no_room if called from flush_to_ldisc()). No input is discarded since the reader does have input available to read which ensures forward progress. When icanon and the read buffer does not contain newlines and the normalized 'room' value is 0, then overflow and room are reset to 1, so that the i/o loop will process the next input char normally (except for parity errors which are ignored). Thus, erasures, signalling chars, 7-bit mode, etc. will continue to be handled properly. If the input char processed was not a line termination char, then the canon_head index will not have advanced, so the normalized 'room' value will now be -1 and 'overflow' will be set, which indicates the read_head can safely be reset, effectively erasing the last char processed. If the input char processed was a line termination, then the canon_head index will have advanced, so 'overflow' is cleared to 0, the read_head is not reset, and 'room' is cleared to 0, which exits the i/o loop (because the reader now have input available to read which ensures forward progress). Note that it is possible for a line termination to be received, and for the reader to copy the line to the user buffer before the input i/o loop is ready to process the next input char. This is why the i/o loop recomputes the room/overflow state with every input char while handling overflow. Finally, if the input data was processed without receiving a line termination (so that overflow is still set), the pty driver must receive a write wakeup. A pty writer may be waiting to write more data in n_tty_write() but without unthrottling here that wakeup will not arrive, and forward progress will halt. (Normally, the pty writer is woken when the reader reads data out of the buffer and more space become available).
