n_tty: Fix poll() after buffer-limited eof push read
commit 40d5e0905a03 ("n_tty: Fix EOF push handling") fixed EOF push for reads. However, that approach still allows a condition mismatch between poll() and read(), where poll() returns POLLIN but read() blocks. This state can happen when a previous read() returned because the user buffer was full and the next character was an EOF not at the beginning of the line. While the next read() will properly identify the condition and advance the read buffer tail without improperly indicating an EOF file condition (ie., read() will not mistakenly return 0), poll() will mistakenly indicate POLLIN. Although a possible solution would be to peek at the input buffer in n_tty_poll(), the better solution in this patch is to eat the EOF during the previous read() (ie., fix the problem by eliminating the condition). The current canon line buffer copy limits the scan for next end-of-line to the smaller of either, a. the remaining user buffer size b. completed lines in the input buffer When the remaining user buffer size is exactly one less than the end-of-line marked by EOF push, the EOF is not scanned nor skipped but left for subsequent reads. In the example below, the scan index 'eol' has stopped at the EOF because it is past the scan limit of 5 (not because it has found the next set bit in read_flags) user buffer [*nr = 5] _ _ _ _ _ read_flags 0 0 0 0 0 1 input buffer h e l l o [EOF] ^ ^ / / tail eol result: found = 0, tail += 5, *nr += 5 Instead, allow the scan to peek ahead 1 byte (while still limiting the scan to completed lines in the input buffer). For the example above, result: found = 1, tail += 6, *nr += 5 Because the scan limit is now bumped +1 byte, when the scan is completed, the tail advance and the user buffer copy limit is re-clamped to *nr when EOF is _not_ found.
