Indeed the deadlock is possible if the port suspension is initiated during the ref clock rate change: CPU0 (suspend CPU/UART) CPU1 (update clock) ---- ---- lock(&port->mutex); lock((work_completion)(&data->clk_work)); lock(&port->mutex); lock((work_completion)(&data->clk_work)); *** DEADLOCK *** So the CPU performing the UART port shutdown procedure will wait until the ref clock change notifier is finished (worker is flushed), while the later will wait for a port mutex being released. A possible solution to bypass the deadlock is to move the worker flush out of the critical section protected by the TTY port mutex. For instance we can register and de-register the clock change notifier in the port probe and remove methods instead of having them called from the port startup/shutdown callbacks. But in order to do that we need to make sure that the serial8250_update_uartclk() method is safe to be used while the port is shutted down. Alas the current implementation doesn't provide that safety. The solution described above is introduced in the framework of this patchset. See individual patches for details. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-serial/f1cd5c75-9cda-6896-a4e2-42c5bfc3f5c3@redhat.com Hans, could you test the patchset out on your Cherry Trail (x86)-based devices? After that we can merge it in into the kernels 5.8 and 5.9 if there is no objections against the fix. Note, in order to have the fix working for the older kernel all of patches need to be backported.
