Subject: [PATCH] serial/amba-pl011: Disable interrupts around TX softirq
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 14:54:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434635669-23367-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com> (raw)

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
