[PATCH v3] serial: stm32: optimize spin lock usage

From: dillon . minfei
Date: Fri Apr 16 2021 - 06:10:58 EST


From: dillon min <dillon.minfei@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch aims to fix two potential bug:
- no lock to protect uart register in this case

stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt()
spin_lock(&port->lock);
...
stm32_usart_receive_chars()
uart_handle_sysrq_char();
sysrq_function();
printk();
stm32_usart_console_write();
locked = 0; //since port->sysrq is not zero,
no lock to protect forward register
access.

- if add spin_trylock_irqsave() to protect uart register for sysrq = 1 case,
that might got recursive locking under UP.
So, use uart_prepare_sysrq_char(), uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq()
move sysrq handler position to irq/thread_d handler, just record
sysrq_ch in stm32_usart_receive_chars() by uart_prepare_sysrq_char()
delay the sysrq process to next interrupt handler.

new flow:

stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt()/stm32_usart_interrupt()
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock);
...
uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq();
spin_unlock_irqrestore();
handle_sysrq(sysrq_ch);
stm32_usart_threaded_interrupt()//stm32_usart_interrupt() return

v3: add uart_prepare_sysrq_char(), uart_unlock_and_check_sysrq() to move
sysrq handler inside interrupt routinei to avoid recursive locking,
according to Johan Hovold suggestion, thanks.
