: TQ_UNLOCK(queue);

: Take the following for example. Now you changed it a little bit, but I see
: similar issues where other commands are involved:
:
: 1) queue DTR on cmd
: 2) queue DTR off cmd
: 3) queue DTR on cmd
This is a bad example. In this case, clearly you'd want to turn it
on, wait for it to go on, wait a while, turn it off, wait for it to go
off, wait a while, then repeat the on part. If you are trying to get
a notch signal in DTR, you have to cope this way. If you are
implementing an ioctl from userland to do this (as exposed by the tty
system), then you'd need to wait for the DTR command to finish anyway
before returning to userland, no?
There's likely other reasons for wanting to do this, but DTR changes
should be synchronous to the caller.
