TATSUKAWA KOSUKE (立川 江介) c816b2e65b n_tty: wake up poll(POLLRDNORM) on receiving data 
The poll man page says POLLRDNORM is equivalent to POLLIN when used as
an event.
$ man poll
<snip>
              POLLRDNORM
                     Equivalent to POLLIN.

However, in n_tty driver, POLLRDNORM does not return until timeout even
if there is terminal input, whereas POLLIN returns.

The following test program works until kernel-3.17, but the test stops
in poll() after commit 57087d5154 ("tty: Fix spurious poll() wakeups").

[Steps to run test program]
  $ cc -o test-pollrdnorm test-pollrdnorm.c
  $ ./test-pollrdnorm
  foo          <-- Type in something from the terminal followed by [RET].
                   The string should be echoed back.

  ------------------------< test-pollrdnorm.c >------------------------
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <errno.h>
  #include <poll.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  void main(void)
  {
	int		n;
	unsigned char	buf[8];
	struct pollfd	fds[1] = {{ 0, POLLRDNORM, 0 }};

	n = poll(fds, 1, -1);
	if (n < 0)
		perror("poll");
	n = read(0, buf, 8);
	if (n < 0)
		perror("read");
	if (n > 0)
		write(1, buf, n);
  }
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The attached patch fixes this problem.  Many calls to
wake_up_interruptible_poll() in the kernel source code already specify
"POLLIN | POLLRDNORM".

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
