Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] 8250 DW UART fixes when under constant Rx pressure
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 19:10:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203171049.4353-1-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Here are fixes to 8250 DW UART conditions that mostly occur in scenarios
under constant Rx pressure which are made complicated by BUSY handling
of DW UARTs (used when !uart_16550_compatible).
A few of the changes touch also 8250_port but it's mostly moving existing
code around (except for the extra synchronize_irq() in shutdown).
Pending cleanups (to be sent separately):
- 8250_dw: UART_IIR_RX_TIMEOUT move to switch/case
- 8250: include sorting
- 8250: iir types to u8
v4:
- Fix warning about label at the end (due to commented out code) being
an extension by adding an otherwise unnecessary return.
v3:
- Rollback dw8250_idle_enter() failures within
- usr_reg = ... ? ... : ...;
- Leave LCR write fail dev_err() where it was (commented out)
v2:
- Added Fixes tags pointing DW & INTC10EE introducing commits
- Added Cc stable to prerequisite patches
- Separate adding serial8250_handle_irq_locked() to own patch
- Put new exports to SERIAL_8250 namespace (eventually all 8250
exports should move there, but out-of-scope for this series)
- Changes to no_int_count
- Change type to u8
- Use modulo in increment, add a define for it
- Perform kick only on 4th NO_INT
- Use serial_port_in/out() throughout the series
- Add FIXME comments to ndelay(frame_time) about very low baud rates
- Add cleanup.h
- Tweak lockdep.h place among misordered includes
- Wording tweaks to changelogs and comments
