This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: 8250: Fall back to non-DMA Rx if IIR_RDI occurs
to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.
From a931237cbea256aff13bb403da13a97b2d1605d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ilpo=20J=C3=A4rvinen?= ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2022 14:19:49 +0200 Subject: serial: 8250: Fall back to non-DMA Rx if IIR_RDI occurs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
DW UART sometimes triggers IIR_RDI during DMA Rx when IIR_RX_TIMEOUT should have been triggered instead. Since IIR_RDI has higher priority than IIR_RX_TIMEOUT, this causes the Rx to hang into interrupt loop. The problem seems to occur at least with some combinations of small-sized transfers (I've reproduced the problem on Elkhart Lake PSE UARTs).
If there's already an on-going Rx DMA and IIR_RDI triggers, fall graciously back to non-DMA Rx. That is, behave as if IIR_RX_TIMEOUT had occurred.
8250_omap already considers IIR_RDI similar to this change so its nothing unheard of.
