Can you help to give more hints, or the commit id of the patch which fixed this. thanks. I'm still confused with this. The stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt() is a kthread context, once port->lock holds by this function, another serial interrupts raised, such as USART_SR_TXE,stm32_usart_interrupt() can't get the lock, there will be a deadlock. isn't it? So, shouldn't I use spin_lock{_irqsave} according to the caller's context ? There is a bug in this patch, the variable flags should be a global variable. Thanks. Dillon, > > thanks, > > greg k-h
