Only the N_TTY line discipline implements the signal-driven i/o notification enabled/disabled by fcntl(F_SETFL, O_ASYNC). The ldisc fasync() notification is sent to the ldisc when the enable state has changed (the tty core is notified via the fasync() VFS file operation). The N_TTY line discipline used the enable state to change the wakeup condition (minimum_to_wake = 1) for notifying the signal handler i/o is available. However, just the presence of data is sufficient and necessary to signal i/o is available, so changing minimum_to_wake is unnecessary (and creates a race condition with read() and poll() which may be concurrently updating minimum_to_wake). Furthermore, since the kill_fasync() VFS helper performs no action if the fasync list is empty, calling unconditionally is preferred; if signal driven i/o just has been disabled, no signal will be sent by kill_fasync() anyway so notification of the change via the ldisc fasync() method is superfluous.
