[PATCH] Revert "serial: fsl_lpuart: Reset prior to registration"

[Sherry Sun]

This reverts commit 60f361722ad2ae5ee667d0b0545d40c42f754daf.

commit 60f361722ad2 ("serial: fsl_lpuart: Reset prior to registration")
causes the lpuart console cannot work any more. Since the console is
registered in the uart_add_one_port(), the driver cannot identify the
console port before call uart_add_one_port(), which causes all the uart
ports including the console port will be global reset.
So need to revert this patch to avoid breaking the lpuart console.

So the problem with this being so early is uart_console() in 
lpuart_global_reset() that doesn't detect a console because sport->cons is 
not yet assigned? Couldn't that be worked around differently?

Or is there something else in addition to that I'm missing?

Hi Ilpo,

Yes, the root cause of the console cannot work after apply the commit 60f361722ad2 ("serial: fsl_lpuart: Reset prior to registration") is lpuart_global_reset() cannot identify the console port, so reset all uart ports.

Actually I've been thinking about any other workaround all afternoon, seems no other good options to me till now. And after a further check, I think the original patch is not needed, as uart_add_one_port() won't open the tty device, it should be safe to global reset the non-console ports after uart_add_one_port().

Best Regards
Sherry

This didn't answer my question. Is the main cause just lacking the ->cons
from sport at this point which, I guess, could be just assigned from 
lpuart_reg similar to what uart_add_one_port() does before calling to 
reset?

Hi Ilpo,

Actually not only the (port)->cons need to be assigned, but also to get the right (port)->cons->index.
23 #define uart_console(port) \
24     ((port)->cons && (port)->cons->index == (port)->line)

The (port)->cons is assigned in uart_add_one_port(), quite simple.
3076     uport->cons = drv->cons;

But the (port)->cons->index is not that easy to get in lpuart driver, now the value is assigned by calling register_console() from uart_configure_port().

I've some skepticism to this claim. I now played with 8250 myself and 
confirmed it does have non-NULL ->cons for the console ports before 
to calls to uart_add_one_port() and index is setup up correctly for cons
too!

The reason for the cons being setup is this being done in 
univ8250_console_setup():

	/* link port to console */
	port->cons = co;

(which I think could be easily be done in lpuart_console_setup() too).

Hi Ilpo,

I am not familiar with 8250 serial, but at least for imx uart driver and lpuart driver, the following behavior is same.
For the "real" consoles (everything which is not a bootconsole), the (port)->cons and (port)->cons->index are initialized through uart_add_one_port()->uart_configure_port()->register_console()->try_enable_new_console(), here the console index is assigned by the console cmdline parameters.

I also tried the same way of 8250, it doesn't work, lpuart console still cannot work, as the lpuart_console_setup() is only called through uart_add_one_port() after the console index is initialized, to setup the "real" consoles.

Hm, uart_add_one_port() does the following *before* calling
uart_configure_port():

	/*
	 * If this port is in use as a console then the spinlock is already
	 * initialised.
	 */
	if (!uart_console_enabled(uport))
		uart_port_spin_lock_init(uport);

It sounds like in the case of fsl_lpuart.c, the spin lock is *always*
initialized, even though a concurrent lpuart_console_write() may be
holding it.  That's not solved by moving lpuart_global_reset() around.

The problem with performing lpuart_global_reset() after UART registration
is that as soon as uart_add_one_port() returns, the port is available
for user space to use.  So resetting it is a no-go.

Thanks,

Lukas

Hi Lukas, 

For the "real" consoles that registered through uart_add_one_port() during uart driver probe, yes, the spin lock is *always* initialized.
And don't worry about the lpuart_console_write() holding the spin lock, as the lpuart_console_write() will only be used after the lpuart_console_setup(), the spin lock has been initialized.
[    1.824177] Call trace:
[    1.826627]  uart_port_spin_lock_init+0x20/0x38
[    1.831177]  uart_add_one_port+0x150/0x5d0
[    1.835290]  lpuart_probe+0x26c/0x484
[    1.838966]  platform_probe+0x68/0xe0

Now the issue is, for the lpuart console port, the uart_console() will only be set correctly in uart_add_one_port(), so if move lpuart_global_reset() before uart_add_one_port(), we cannot recognize the console port, which will cause the console port also been global reset to break the console print.

Per my understanding, even we don’t do the global reset for the non-console ports after uart_add_one_port(), we still need to initialize the tty ports in lpuart32_startup() when open tty device, it should be safe to add a software reset before initializing the tty ports.

What's the status/plan on this?

From what I can tell the commit this patch is reverting introduced a
regression (that was backported to stable kernel), it should have a
Fixes tag and probably a cc:stable.

whoops, already solved in
