I think so, and we can get stuck otherwise.


Tested patch:

commit 70325fd1d4341896c17b6f1f1965370b5258d0b1
Author: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

pty: ensure writes hit the reader before close

Implement TTY_EOF/EOFPENDING flags so that we can propogate the close of the
pty through the buffering correctly. The new flag state is locked but the
tty buffer lock as it relates to buffers, and also because the buffer
lock is already held in the hot path.
