Subject: [PATH RESEND v2 00/10] tty: xuartps: Fix lock ups
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 12:02:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447963344-16266-1-git-send-email-soren.brinkmann@xilinx.com> (raw)

Hi,

I guess this series got probably lost during the merge window. Hence, I
resend the patches.

This is v2, hopefully without any build issues. The changes are the same
as before, just the warning reported by kbuild test robot about unused
variables have been fixed. And, I added one more patch with some
cleanup/refactoring.

I recently found my system locking up under some conditions. I dug
through the code a bit and the result is this collections of various
changes. Some of it may not be required and has just been created out of
half-baked theories and re-reading the documentation. The actual failing
scenarios seem to be:
 - RX IRQ conditions are handled while the receiver is disabled, leaving
   the driver in an infinite loop
 - console_put_char seems to be interrupted by uart_shutdown disabling
   the transmitter while/just before printing

I.e. overall I tried to serialize all operations using the port lock to
avoid such interaction.

	Thanks,
	Sören
