[PATCH] USB: close waits for drain in pl2303
Here is an additional patch for pl2303 in 2.6.9-rc1, to be applied after my previous circular buffer patch. This patch waits for the buffer to drain on close and then clears the buffer. In addition to the obvious features, this also fixes a bug where closing a port with a full buffer would accidentally disable writes when the port was re-opened. The original pl2303 could lose data that was still going out the port on close, and even this patch only solves the problem completely for data rates of 1200 bps and above. Waiting for data to drain from the circular buffer is easy, but the problem is waiting for data to drain from the 256 byte hardware buffer on the device. I don't know how much data is in the hardware buffer, so I just wait long enough for a potentially full hardware buffer to drain, but I don't want to wait that long for low data rates if the buffer isn't full. There is probably some way to query the pl2303 to find out how much data is in its hardware buffer, maybe snooping would reveal that. - Added a wait for data to drain from the driver write buffer when closing. - Added a wait for the data to drain from the device hardware buffer when closing. - Cleared the driver write buffer when closing.
