<title>tty: serial: 8250_omap: fix TX with DMA for am33xx</title>

<id>b495021a973e2468497689bd3e29b736747b896f</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit 1788cf6a91d9 ("tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo")
introduced an error in the TX DMA handling for 8250_omap.

When the OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK flag is set, the "skip_byte" is pulled from
the kfifo and emitted directly in order to start the DMA. While the
kfifo is updated, dma-&gt;tx_size is not decreased. This leads to
uart_xmit_advance() called in omap_8250_dma_tx_complete() advancing the
kfifo by one too much.

In practice, transmitting N bytes has been seen to result in the last
N-1 bytes being sent repeatedly.

This change fixes the problem by moving all of the dma setup after the
OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK handling and using kfifo_len() instead of the DMA size
for the 4-byte cutoff check. This slightly changes the behaviour at
buffer wraparound, but it still transmits the correct bytes somehow.

Now, the "skip_byte" would no longer be accounted to the stats. As
previously, dma-&gt;tx_size included also this skip byte, up-&gt;icount.tx was
updated by aforementioned uart_xmit_advance() in
omap_8250_dma_tx_complete(). Fix this by using the uart_fifo_out()
helper instead of bare kfifo_get().

Based on patch by Mans Rullgard &lt;mans@mansr.com&gt;

<content type='text'>
Systems that issue PCIe hot reset requests during a suspend/resume
cycle cause PCI1XXXX device revisions prior to C0 to get its UART
configuration registers reset to hardware default values. This results
in device inaccessibility and data transfer failures. Starting with
Revision C0, support was added in the device hardware (via the Hot
Reset Disable Bit) to allow resetting only the PCIe interface and its
associated logic, but preserving the UART configuration during a hot
reset. This patch enables the hot reset disable feature during suspend/
resume for C0 and later revisions of the device.

uart_get_icount() and uart_carrier_raised() open code
uart_port_ref_lock(). Use the helper instead.

The difference is we use _irqsave() variants of a spinlock now. But
that's "safer" than _irq().

uart_port_lock() and uart_port_unlock() are (at the same time) defined
as:
* functions in include/linux/serial_core.h
* macros in drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c

The former are sane uart port lock wrappers.

The latter _lock() does something completely different: it inspects
a uart_state, obtains a uart_port from it, and increases its reference
count. And if that all succeeded, the port is locked too.

Similarly, the _unlock() counterpart first unlocks and then decrements
the refcount too.

This state is REALLY CONFUSING.

So rename the latter (local .c macros):
* uart_port_lock() -&gt; uart_port_ref_lock(), and
* uart_port_unlock() -&gt; uart_port_unlock_deref().

Now, the forbidden while-at-it part: convert from a macro to an inline
-- do it here as the passed 'flags' have to be pointer to ulong now. So
we avoid doubled changes on identical LOCs.

uart_port_lock() and uart_port_unlock() are (at the same time) defined
as:
* functions in include/linux/serial_core.h
* macros in drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c

The former are sane uart port lock wrappers.

The latter _lock() does something completely different: it inspects
a uart_state, obtains a uart_port from it, and increases its reference
count. And if that all succeeded, the port is locked too.

Similarly, the _unlock() counterpart first unlocks and then decrements
the refcount too.
