Subject: [PATCH v2][RESEND] pch_uart: Fix dma channel unallocated issue
Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:47:50 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334195270-2302-1-git-send-email-tomoya.rohm@gmail.com> (raw)
This driver anticipates pch_uart_verify_port() is not called
during installation.
However, actually pch_uart_verify_port() is called during
installation.
As a result, memory access violation occurs like below.
0. initial value: use_dma=0
1. starup()
- dma channel is not allocated because use_dma=0
2. pch_uart_verify_port()
- Set use_dma=1
3. UART processing acts DMA mode because use_dma=1
- memory access violation occurs!
This patch fixes the issue.
Solution:
Whenever pch_uart_verify_port() is called and then
dma channel is not allocated, the channel should be allocated.

v2: Re-create this patch for 3.4-rc2.
(RESEND) 1st v2 was sent to stable@vger.kernel.org. So, resend this patch
with correct destination address.
