That's generally too subtle. Better to clearly mark the error/exception path. > But what is worse, this changes return value in the error case; > returning 0 instead of -ENOMEM.

No, zero is the correct return value here when the tty driver's buffer is full. The line discipline will then handle nonblocking writes correctly, etc. Johan
