Glibc after 2.41+r48+g5cb575ca9a3d-1 breaks UART baudrate setting

With my 3D printer I need 250000bps and glibc after this seems to break that:

RepetierHost/SetBaudrate /dev/ttyACM0 250000
actual baud: 38400
error: couldn't set desired baud rate 250000 got 38400
Forcing set baudrate failed

Downgrading is not an option either as it breaks Firefox and probably many other packages.

Re: Glibc after 2.41+r48+g5cb575ca9a3d-1 breaks UART baudrate setting

Can you still set the rate w/ stty or (fresh or rebuilt) setserial?

Re: Glibc after 2.41+r48+g5cb575ca9a3d-1 breaks UART baudrate setting

It seems, with RepetierHost SetBaudrate binary alone I can set it without issue. I guess RepetierHost opens the port before changing the baud rate.
But it doesn't help the issue to set the baudrate manually before connecting.

Also, with RepetierHost I only seem to get this error with 250000 and 128000 baud. I know 250000 is somewhat problematic and special in Linux. 115200 and 230400 work, but obviously do not communicate with my printer.

Tried with stty, got this:

# stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 250000
stty: invalid argument ‘250000’
Try 'stty --help' for more information.
# stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 115200
# stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 9600

Possibly bisect glibc in a clean chroot and test it with LD_PRELOAD to avoid altering the system's glibc?

de730d3d2d9131398e56f69228d46d895f126a60 is blocked from being reverted by 10 other commits due to header, Makefile and documentation changes. So reverting this commit reverts a lot of other termios changes.
Edit:
This folder contains 2.42+r17+gd7274d718e6f with de730d3d2d9131398e56f69228d46d895f126a60 reverted.

Installed this reverted (not sure if I was supposed to) but still the same issues.

Re: Glibc after 2.41+r48+g5cb575ca9a3d-1 breaks UART baudrate setting

Means you'll have to bisect this
termios has been refactored, this could have fallen through the cracks anywhere (the patch that switches out discrete rates for arbitrary ones would just have been some obvious contender)

This one works too, also doesn't break Firefox and other packages.

@seth I wonder if you were right initially I messed up the revert.

No problem.

I expect it to be bad meaning the cause is 5cf101a linux: implement arbitrary and split speeds in termios.
