It was "12" (instead of 50) because the conversion gor TIOCGSERIAL was initially broken, and that was fixed in the previous commit 633e2b2ded739a34bd0fb1d8b5b871f7e489ea29 > For completeness: With different default values for these parameters or > with a HZ value not divisible by two, the lack of rounding when setting > the default values in tty_port_init() could result in an -EPERM being > returned, but this is hardly something we need to worry about. The -EPERM is harmful when a regular user wants to update other members of serial_struct without changing the close delays, e.g. ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY, which is granted to regular users. Best, Anthony
