Howto cancel a blocked termios read request

[Wolfram Wadepohl]

i need to cancel a blocked termios read request.

the request blocks at the tty->rawInBuf.Semaphore in fillBufferQueue():

...
	/*
	 * Wait for characters
	 */
	if ( wait ) {
		sc = rtems_semaphore_obtain (tty->rawInBuf.Semaphore,
			tty->rawInBufSemaphoreOptions,
			timeout);
		if (sc != RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL)
			break;
	}
...

using ioctl to set c_cc[VMIN] = c_cc[VTIME] = 0 does not help, because it 
changes only tty->rawInBufSemaphoreOptions, which will be in effect for the 
*next* call to rtems_semaphore_obtain().

should we put an extra rtems_semaphore_release() call in the code, when we 
set tty->rawInBufSemaphoreOptions to RTEMS_NO_WAIT (line 571) in case of 
c_cc[VMIN] = c_cc[VTIME] = 0?

any other suggestions to cancel a blocked read?
thanks.
