If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Arnd Bergmann commit 065ea0a7afd64d6cf3464bdd1d8cd227527e2045 upstream. While working on improving the fast path of tty_insert_flip_char(), I noticed that by calling tty_buffer_request_room(), we needlessly move to the separate flag buffer mode for the tty, even when all characters use TTY_NORMAL as the flag. This changes the code to call __tty_buffer_request_room() with the correct flag, which will then allocate a regular buffer when it rounds out of space but no special flags have been used. I'm guessing that this is the behavior that Peter Hurley intended when he introduced the compacted flip buffers.
