If userspace races tcsetattr() with a write, the drained condition might not be guaranteed by the kernel. There is a race window after checking Tx is empty before tty_set_termios() takes termios_rwsem for write. During that race window, more characters can be queued by a racing writer.
Any ongoing transmission might produce garbage during HW's ->set_termios() call. The intent of TCSADRAIN/FLUSH seems to be preventing such a character corruption. If those flags are set, take tty's write lock to stop any writer before performing the lower layer Tx empty check and wait for the pending characters to be sent (if any).
The initial wait for all-writers-done must be placed outside of tty's write lock to avoid deadlock which makes it impossible to use tty_wait_until_sent(). The write lock is retried if a racing write is detected.
