[Devel] C/R of termios

Oren,

Any reason we only checkpoint/restore a 'struct termio' instead of a
'struct termios' ?

AFAICT, 'struct termios' seems to supersede 'struct termio' (i.e includes
all fields of 'struct termio' plus more). The TCGETS ioctl and tcgetattr()
interface return a 'struct termios' to user space.

The man page termio(7) says the 'struct termio' interface is obsolete.

The kernel uses 'struct ktermios' to represent the attributes internally.
So shouldn't we checkpoint/restore the 'struct ktermios' object ?

If application uses legacy interface (TCGETA/TCSETA with 'struct termio')
the kernel converts the 'struct ktermios' to the 'struct termio' in
kernel_termios_to_user_termio(). So we should be fine if we C/R the
ktermios object right ?

Here is a quick hack, just for reference. With this hack, I can C/R an
app that does tcgetattr() of a pty before/after checkpoint.
