[RFC PATCH 0/3] omap-serial high-speed fixes/improvements

[Frans Klaver]

Hi,

Here's a couple of patches that should improve the behavior of the omap serial
driver at high data rates and baud rates.

I was actually surprised to see that proper dma support isn't there yet, but
there you go. Anyone got news on that, by the way?

Thanks for reviewing this,
Frans

Hi,

Apologies, something went wrong. Here's a resend.

Here's a couple of patches that should improve the behavior of the omap serial
driver at high data rates and baud rates.

I was actually surprised to see that proper dma support isn't there yet, but
there you go. Anyone got news on that, by the way?

[PATCH 1/3] tty: omap-serial: prevent division by zero

[Frans Klaver]

If the chosen baud rate is large enough (e.g. 3.5 megabaud), the
calculated n13 and n16 values in serial_omap_baud_is_mode16 may become
0. This causes a division by zero when calculating the difference
between calculated and desired baud rates. To prevent this, cap n13 and
n16 on 1.

[PATCH 2/3] tty: omap-serial: use threaded interrupt handler

[Frans Klaver]

At 3.6Mbaud, with slightly over 2Mbit/s data coming in, we see 1600 uart
rx buffer overflows within 30 seconds. Threading the interrupt handling reduces
this to about 170 overflows in 10 minutes.

In practice this therefore reduces the need for hardware flow control,
meaning the sending side doesn't have to buffer as much either.

please resend these patches and make sure you get the right Cc list.

You're missing linux-omap, Tony Lingren, linux-arm-kernel...
scripts/get_maintainer.pl would give you a more exaustive list of

This CC list is what I got from get_maintainer.pl. I should have at
least remembered to add linux-omap, though. I take it everyone gets all
patches for consistency?

Here's version 2 of the patches that should improve the behavior of the omap
serial port at high baud and data rates.

Differences with regard to v1 are:
  - centralize baud_is_mode16's calculation
  - fix/unbreak an uninitialized variable in "use threaded interrupt handler"
  - read has-hw-flow-control property in of_get_uart_port_info

[PATCH 1/4] tty: omap-serial: pull out calculation from baud_is_mode16

[Frans Klaver]

To determine the correct divisor, we need to know the difference between
the desired baud rate and the actual baud rate. The calculation for this
difference is implemented twice within omap_serial_baud_is_mode16().
Pull out the calculation for easier maintenance.

[PATCH 2/4] tty: omap-serial: prevent division by zero

[Frans Klaver]

If the chosen baud rate is large enough (e.g. 3.5 megabaud), the
calculated n values in calculate_baud_abs_diff may become 0. This causes
a division by zero when calculating the difference between calculated
and desired baud rates. To prevent this, cap n on 1.

Can you try Sebastian Siewior's patches for 8250_omap and 8250 dma
support ? That should help you a lot.

NAK. Either use IRQF_ONESHOT or actually mask the IRQs at the device's
registers (basically clearing IER).

Given the work that's been done on the 8250 based driver, what are the
short-term chances omap-serial will be dropped? I'd be happy to improve
here if it makes sense to do so. If the 8250 based driver is going to
replace omap-serial anyway on the short term, I don't see the point of
further developing this patch. The others would still make sense in my
opinion.

Thanks,
Frans

if we find a way to maintain the same ttyO* naming scheme and make it
coexist with ttyS* naming, then we could drop as soon as 8250_omap is
ready for prime time.

I have had a look at Sebastian's series, but I'm not convinced
yet that we should use it. So far the serial console seems to be
missing data every now and then. I haven't gotten around to testing our
high traffic application yet.

With that in mind, for now I'll be betting on two horses.

I'll cook up a new version using oneshot.

as any new driver, there are bugs to be fixed. How about reporting the
ones you found together with a way of reproducing them so they can be
fixed ?

[RFC PATCH 3/4] tty: omap-serial: use threaded interrupt handler

[Frans Klaver]

At 3.6Mbaud, with slightly over 2Mbit/s data coming in, we see 1600 uart
rx buffer overflows within 30 seconds. Threading the interrupt handling reduces
this to about 170 overflows in 10 minutes.

In practice this therefore reduces the need for hardware flow control,
meaning the sending side doesn't have to buffer as much either.
