[PATCH v2 1/1] serial: 8250_dw: Allow hardware flow control to be used

[Jason Uy]

In the most common use case, the Synopsys DW UART driver does not
set the set_termios callback function.  This prevents UPSTAT_AUTOCTS
from being set when the UART flag CRTSCTS is set.  As a result, the
driver will use software flow control as opposed to hardware flow
control.

To fix the problem, the set_termios callback function is set to the
DW specific function.  The logic to set UPSTAT_AUTOCTS is moved so
that any clock error will not affect setting the hardware flow
control.

1. Does it use clock on that platform?
2. Check if termios is not NULL there.

btw, sorry for HTML email blocked from lists, gmail tricked me into it
:-(

I've now dug a little deeper. Essentially what is going on is:

1) CONFIG_HAVE_CLK=n (Octeon doesn't select it)
2) The CONFIG_HAVE_CLK=n implementation of devm_clk_get() returns NULL
3) The "if (IS_ERR(d->clk) || !old) {" check in dw8250_set_termios()
   doesn't match, since !IS_ERR(NULL)
4) The CONFIG_HAVE_CLK=n implementation of clk_round_rate() returns 0
5) The CONFIG_HAVE_CLK=n implementation of clk_set_rate(d->clk, 0)
   returns 0
6) dw8250_set_termios() thinks the frequency for that baud rate has been
   set successfully and writes 0 into uartclk
7) it all goes wrong from there...

The CONFIG_HAVE_CLK=n implementation of devm_clk_get() in particular
seems highly questionable to me, given that commit 93abe8e4b13a ("clk:
add non CONFIG_HAVE_CLK routines") which added it 5 years ago says:

> These calls will return error for platforms that don't select HAVE_CLK

And NULL isn't an error in this API.

Cc'ing some clk folk.

So, it means we have need special care of NULL case here, and honestly,
I don't like it. But it seems the only feasible (quick) fix right now.

Which is okay. I dunno what should be returned from clk_round_rate() if
clk is NULL. I would fix CLK framework, though I would like to gather
more details.

Btw, I hope you also noticed this one:

I agree. I think it should have been:

if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(d->clk) || !old)
    goto out;

I think it makes sense to validate to make sure the 'clk' pointer is
valid before proceeding any further down below (regardless of how well
or how not well the clock framework handles it).

Thanks,

James,

Can you verify that changing the code to the following fixes your problem?

if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(d->clk) || !old)
    goto out;

It does, however I'm not at all convinced it is correct. clk_get either
returns a valid opaque clock cookie that can be passed to other clock
functions (which includes NULL), or ERR_PTR(-errno), which IS_ERR()
should catch for errors.

According to this thread:

https://lists.gt.net/linux/kernel/2102623

we should stick to the clk API and use IS_ERR() rather than
IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), but shouldn't be blindly accepting the result of
clk_get_rate() (or I suppose clk_round_rate()), but rather checking for
the value 0 and handling that case as "we don't have a usable clock from
the clk api, fall back to something else".

RE: [PATCH v2 1/1] serial: 8250_dw: Allow hardware flow control to be used

[Jason Uy]

HI James,

Maybe instead of that, we should do this instead

If ((IS_ERR(d->clk) && PTR_ERR(d->clk)) || !old)

Note that this is what is done in the probe function of the dw driver.

Regards,
Jason

It does, however I'm not at all convinced it is correct. clk_get either
returns a valid opaque clock cookie that can be passed to other clock
functions (which includes NULL), or ERR_PTR(-errno), which IS_ERR() should
catch for errors.

According to this thread:

https://lists.gt.net/linux/kernel/2102623

we should stick to the clk API and use IS_ERR() rather than
IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), but shouldn't be blindly accepting the result of
clk_get_rate() (or I suppose clk_round_rate()), but rather checking for the
value 0 and handling that case as "we don't have a usable clock from the clk
api, fall back to something else".

Cheers
James

IS_ERR(x) matches a range of non-zero negative values, so it implies
PTR_ERR(x) already, so it doesn't change anything.

Hmm, the common clock framwork is just one implementation of the clock
API that won't use NULL as a valid clock handle. HAVE_CLK=n is just
another implementation that does return NULL as a valid value, and
accepts that value in the other clk functions.

Interesting.

Following Russel's past advise[1], the following patch on top of Heiko's
patch also fixes things for me on Octeon:

If thats an acceptable fix I'll post it properly. Thoughts?

Fine by me. Looks definitely better than IS_ERR_OR_NULL().

[PATCH] serial: 8250_dw: Fix breakage when HAVE_CLK=n

[James Hogan]

Commit 6a171b299379 ("serial: 8250_dw: Allow hardware flow control to be
used") recently broke the 8250_dw driver on platforms which don't select
HAVE_CLK, as dw8250_set_termios() gets confused by the behaviour of the
fallback HAVE_CLK=n clock API in linux/clk.h which pretends everything
is fine but returns (valid) NULL clocks and 0 HZ clock rates.

That 0 rate is written into the uartclk resulting in a crash at boot,
e.g. on Cavium Octeon III based UTM-8 we get something like this:

1180000000800.serial: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x1180000000800 (irq = 41, base_baud = 25000000) is a OCTEON
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1 at drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:441 uart_get_baud_rate+0xfc/0x1f0
...

[<ffffffff814aa620>] dw8250_probe+0x388/0x5e8
...

The clock API is defined such that NULL is a valid clock handle so it
wouldn't be right to check explicitly for NULL. Instead treat a
clk_round_rate() return value of 0 as an error which prevents uartclk
being overwritten.

You forgot to add that it is dependent to Heiko's patch
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg25314.html

Patch looks good to me and shouldn't bring any regression to Intel
hardware (x86 is using clock framework).
