Subject: [PATCH 1/2 (resubmission)] n_tty: honor opost flag for echoes

From: Joe Peterson <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:03:13 -0600

This (and the forthcoming part 2, which is the same patch with corrected
offsets) are resubmissions to avoid the conflict with "n_tty: do O_ONLCR
translation as a single write" and to move the O_OPOST test to the caller.

						-Joe

Fixes the following bug:

      http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2692

Causes processing of echoed characters (output from the echo buffer) to
honor the O_OPOST flag, which is consistent with the old behavior.

Note that this and the next patch ("n_tty: move echoctl check and
clean up logic") were verified together by the bug reporters, and
the test now passes.
