The tty line discipline .read() function was passed the final user pointer destination as an argument, which doesn't match the 'write()' function, and makes it very inconvenient to do a splice method for ttys. This is a conversion to use a kernel buffer instead. NOTE! It does this by passing the tty line discipline ->read() function an additional "cookie" to fill in, and an offset into the cookie data. The line discipline can fill in the cookie data with its own private information, and then the reader will repeat the read until either the cookie is cleared or it runs out of data. The only real user of this is N_HDLC, which can use this to handle big packets, even if the kernel buffer is smaller than the whole packet.
