Subject: [PATCH 2/2] serial: sh-sci: Fix hang in sci_reset()
Date: Fri,  2 Dec 2016 13:35:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1480682111-9299-3-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1480682111-9299-1-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be>

When the .set_termios() callback resets the UART, it first waits until
all characters in the transmit FIFO have been transmitted, to prevent a
port configuration change from impacting these characters.

However, if the previous user of the UART had dedicated RTS/CTS hardware
flow control enabled, these characters may have been stuck in the FIFO
due to CTS not being asserted. When the new user opens the port,
.set_termios() is called while transmission is still disabled, leading
to an infinite loop:

    NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!

This has been observed with SCIFA (on r8a7740/armadillo) and SCIFB (on
r8a7791/koelsch).

The issue does not seem to happen when using:
  - GPIO RTS/CTS hardware flow control,
  - No hardware flow control,
  - HSCIF (on r8a7791/koelsch).

To fix this, wait for the draining of the transmit FIFO only if
transmission is already enabled.

To reproduce:

    stty -echo < /dev/scifb0
    stty crtscts < /dev/scifb0
    echo hello > /dev/scifb0	# returns early (wrote to FIFO)
    echo hello > /dev/scifb0	# hangs
