                case TCFLSH:
                        retval = tty_check_change(tty);
                        if (retval)
                                return retval;
                                
                        ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
                        switch (arg) {
                        case TCIFLUSH:
                                if (ld && ld->flush_buffer)
                                        ld->flush_buffer(tty);
                                break;
                        case TCIOFLUSH:
                                if (ld && ld->flush_buffer)
                                        ld->flush_buffer(tty);
                                /* fall through */
                        case TCOFLUSH:
                                if (tty->driver->flush_buffer)
                                        tty->driver->flush_buffer(tty);
                                break;
                        default:
                                tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
                                return -EINVAL;
                        }
                        tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
                        return 0;

Most likely you were using n_tty.

static void n_tty_flush_buffer(struct tty_struct * tty)
{
        /* clear everything and unthrottle the driver */
        reset_buffer_flags(tty);
        
        if (!tty->link)
                return;

        if (tty->link->packet) {
                tty->ctrl_status |= TIOCPKT_FLUSHREAD;
                wake_up_interruptible(&tty->link->read_wait);
        }
}

It sets TIOCPKT_FLUSHREAD, which is used nowhere else in the kernel.
And I am confused. Could somebody who has some experience in the
tty layer comment on that?
