Rework tty_drain() to poll the hardware for completion, and restore drain timeout handling to historical freebsd behavior. The primary reason for these changes is the need to have tty_drain() call ttydevsw_busy() at some reasonable sub-second rate, to poll hardware that doesn't signal an interrupt when the transmit shift register becomes empty (which includes virtually all USB serial hardware). Such hardware hangs in a ttyout wait, because it never gets an opportunity to trigger a wakeup from the sleep in tty_drain() by calling ttydisc_getc() again, after handing the last of the buffered data to the hardware. While researching the history of changes to tty_drain() I stumbled across some email describing the historical BSD behavior of tcdrain() and close() on serial ports, and the ability of comcontrol(1) to control timeout behavior. Using that and some advice from Bruce Evans as a guide, I've put together these changes to implement the hardware polling and restore the historical timeout behaviors... - tty_drain() now calls ttydevsw_busy() in a loop at 10 Hz to accomodate hardware that requires polling for busy state. - The "new historical" behavior for draining during close(2) is retained: the drain timeout is "1 second without making any progress". When the 1-second timeout expires, if the count of bytes remaining in the tty layer buffer is smaller than last time, the timeout is extended for another second. Unfortunately, the same logic cannot be extended all the way down to the hardware, because the interface to that layer is a simple busy/not-busy indication. - Due to the previous point, an application that needs a guarantee that all data has been transmitted must use TIOCDRAIN/tcdrain(3) before calling close(2). - The historical behavior of honoring the drainwait setting for TIOCDRAIN (used by tcdrain(3)) is restored. - The historical kern.drainwait sysctl to control the global default drainwait time is restored, but is now named kern.tty_drainwait. - The historical default drainwait timeout of 300 seconds is restored. - Handling of TIOCGDRAINWAIT and TIOCSDRAINWAIT ioctls is restored (this also makes the comcontrol(1) drainwait verb work again). - Manpages are updated to document these behaviors.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn tcdrain

function waits until all output written to the terminal referenced by
.Fa fd
has been transmitted to the terminal.
.Pp
The
.Fn tcflow
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
function suspends transmission of data to or the reception of data from
the terminal referenced by
.Fa fd
depending on the value of
.Fa action .
The value of
.Fa action
must be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFF"
.It Fa TCOOFF
Suspend output.
.It Fa TCOON
Restart suspended output.
.It Fa TCIOFF
Transmit a STOP character, which is intended to cause the terminal to stop
transmitting data to the system.

1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
.It Fa TCION
Transmit a START character, which is intended to cause the terminal to start
transmitting data to the system.

.Pp
The
.Fn tcflush
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
function discards any data written to the terminal referenced by
.Fa fd
which has not been transmitted to the terminal, or any data received
from the terminal but not yet read, depending on the value of
.Fa action .
The value of
.Fa action
must be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width "TCIOFLUSH"
.It Fa TCIFLUSH
Flush data received but not read.
.It Fa TCOFLUSH
Flush data written but not transmitted.
.It Fa TCIOFLUSH
Flush both data received but not read and data written but not transmitted.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn tcsendbreak
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
function transmits a continuous stream of zero-valued bits for four-tenths
of a second to the terminal referenced by
.Fa fd .
The
.Fa len
2002-12-19 09:40:28 +00:00
argument is ignored in this implementation.
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, all of these functions return a value of zero.
.Sh ERRORS
If any error occurs, a value of -1 is returned and the global variable
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error, as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EBADF
The
.Fa fd
argument is not a valid file descriptor.
.It Bq Er EINVAL
The
.Fa action
argument is not a proper value.
.It Bq Er ENOTTY
The file associated with
.Fa fd
is not a terminal.
.It Bq Er EINTR
A signal interrupted the

.Pp
The
.Fn tcdrain
function is expected to be compliant with
.St -p1003.1-88
when the drain wait value is set to zero with
.Xr comcontrol 8 ,
or with
.Xr ioctl 2
.Va TIOCSDRAINWAIT ,
or with
.Xr sysctl 8
.Va kern.tty_drainwait .
A non-zero drain wait value can result in
.Fn tcdrain
returning
.Va EWOULDBLOCK
without writing all output.
The default value for
.Va kern.tty_drainwait
is 300 seconds.
