Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 6/8] serial: 8250_dw: Rework dw8250_handle_irq() locking and IIR handling
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 16:40:09 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510134011.618215-7-ionut.nechita@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260510134011.618215-1-ionut.nechita@windriver.com>
From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>
commit 883c5a2bc934c165c4491d1ef7da0ac4e9765077 upstream.
dw8250_handle_irq() takes port's lock multiple times with no good
reason to release it in between and calls serial8250_handle_irq()
that also takes port's lock.
Take port's lock only once in dw8250_handle_irq() and use
serial8250_handle_irq_locked() to avoid releasing port's lock in
between.
As IIR_NO_INT check in serial8250_handle_irq() was outside of port's
lock, it has to be done already in dw8250_handle_irq().
DW UART can, in addition to IIR_NO_INT, report BUSY_DETECT (0x7) which
collided with the IIR_NO_INT (0x1) check in serial8250_handle_irq()
(because & is used instead of ==) meaning that no other work is done by
serial8250_handle_irq() during an BUSY_DETECT interrupt.
This allows reorganizing code in dw8250_handle_irq() to do both
IIR_NO_INT and BUSY_DETECT handling right at the start simplifying
the logic.

[Ionut: adapt to 6.12.y - replace guard(uart_port_lock_irqsave)(p)
in dw8250_handle_irq() with explicit uart_port_lock_irqsave/
unlock_irqrestore around the post-switch body; the cleanup-based
uart_port_lock_irqsave guard class is not present in 6.12.y.]
