[PATCH] serial/amba-pl011: Disable interrupts around TX softirq

From: Dave.Martin@arm.com (Dave Martin)
Date: 2015-06-18 13:54:46
Also in: linux-serial, stable
Subsystem: arm primecell uart pl010 and pl011 drivers, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

pl011_tx_softirq() currently uses spin_{,un}lock(), which are not
sufficient to inhibit pl011_int() from being triggered by a local
IRQ and trying to re-take the same lock.  This can lead to
deadlocks.

This patch uses the _irq() locking variants instead to ensure that
pl011_int() handling for a given port is deferred until any
pl011_tx_softirq() work for that port is complete.

Fixes: 734745caeb9f serial/amba-pl011: Activate TX IRQ passively
