[PATCH v2 0/7] serial: qcom-geni: Overhaul TX handling to fix crashes/hangs

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Thu May 30 2024 - 18:46:27 EST



While trying to reproduce -EBUSY errors that our lab was getting in
suspend/resume testing, I ended up finding a whole pile of problems
with the Qualcomm GENI serial driver. I've posted a fix for the -EBUSY
issue separately [1]. This series is fixing all of the Qualcomm GENI
problems that I found.

As far as I can tell most of the problems have been in the Qualcomm
GENI serial driver since inception, but it can be noted that the
behavior got worse with the new kfifo changes. Previously when the OS
took data out of the circular queue we'd just spit stale data onto the
serial port. Now we'll hard lockup. :-P

I've tried to break this series up as much as possible to make it
easier to understand but the final patch is still a lot of change at
once. Hopefully it's OK.

Changes in v2:
- soc: qcom: geni-se: Add GP_LENGTH/IRQ_EN_SET/IRQ_EN_CLEAR registers
- serial: qcom-geni: Fix the timeout in qcom_geni_serial_poll_bit()
- serial: qcom-geni: Fix arg types for qcom_geni_serial_poll_bit()
- serial: qcom-geni: Introduce qcom_geni_serial_poll_bitfield()
- serial: qcom-geni: Just set the watermark level once
- Totally rework / rename patch to handle suspend while active xfer
- serial: qcom-geni: Rework TX in FIFO mode to fix hangs/lockups
