      serial: pl011: Fix DMA ->flush_buffer() · f6a19647
      Vincent Whitchurch authored
      PL011's ->flush_buffer() implementation releases and reacquires the port
      lock.  Due to a race condition here, data can end up being added to the
      circular buffer but neither being discarded nor being sent out.  This
      leads to, for example, tcdrain(2) waiting indefinitely.
      
      Process A                       Process B
      
      uart_flush_buffer()
       - acquire lock
       - circ_clear
       - pl011_flush_buffer()
       -- release lock
       -- dmaengine_terminate_all()
      
                                      uart_write()
                                      - acquire lock
                                      - add chars to circ buffer
                                      - start_tx()
                                      -- start DMA
                                      - release lock
      
       -- acquire lock
       -- turn off DMA
       -- release lock
      
                                      // Data in circ buffer but DMA is off
      
      According to the comment in the code, the releasing of the lock around
      dmaengine_terminate_all() is to avoid a deadlock with the DMA engine
      callback.  However, since the time this code was written, the DMA engine
      API documentation seems to have been clarified to say that
      dmaengine_terminate_all() (in the identically implemented but
      differently named dmaengine_terminate_async() variant) does not wait for
      any running complete callback to be completed and can even be called
      from a complete callback.  So there is no possibility of deadlock if the
      DMA engine driver implements this API correctly.
      
      So we should be able to just remove this release and reacquire of the
      lock to prevent the aforementioned race condition.
