Ok test done.
With kernel 1. the behavior is the same as with your plain second
patch only (flush input works but I cannot read anymore from the
serial that was flushed without closing and reopening the port). See
previous mail for the details of the test.
With kernel 2 the behavior is the same as mainline (multiple flushes
are needed to completely empty the buffers). And I _can_ read further
chars from the serial line after the flush. Here it is the ipython
session that document the test with kernel 2:
In [1]: import serial
In [2]: s0 = serial.Serial(0, timeout=1)
In [3]: s1 = serial.Serial(1, timeout=1)
In [4]: s0.write('test\n')
In [5]: s1.inWaiting()
Out[5]: 5L
In [6]: s1.readline()
Out[6]: 'test\n'
In [7]: for i in xrange(1000):
...: s0.write(str(i).zfill(8)+'\n')
...:
In [8]: s1.inWaiting()
Out[8]: 4095L
In [9]: s1.flushInput()
In [10]: s1.inWaiting()
Out[10]: 4095L # NOTE the buffer is still
full!
In [11]: s1.flushInput()
In [12]: s1.inWaiting()
Out[12]: 810L # The buffer beginning
to be drained
In [13]: s1.flushInput()
In [14]: s1.inWaiting()
Out[14]: 0L # Now the buffer is empty
In [15]: s0.write('test\n') # An reading further chars
works
In [16]: s1.inWaiting()
Out[16]: 5L
In [17]: s1.readline()
Out[17]: 'test\n'
