Subject: [PATCH -rt] serial: 8250: fix shared interrupts issues under RT kernels
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:29:57 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080623232957.GA5111@polina.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)

8250's initialization routines relies on the fact that _irqsave spinlock
will disable local hardirqs, so that the driver can issue IRQ-triggering
operations before registering the port in the IRQ chain.

With RT kernels and preemptable hardirqs this isn't true, _irqsave
spinlock does not disable local hardirqs, and this causes following
trace:

$ cat /dev/ttyS1
irq 42: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
Call Trace:

handlers:
[<c02112c4>] (serial8250_interrupt+0x0/0x138)
Disabling IRQ #42

After this, all serial ports on the given IRQ are non-functional.

To fix the issue we should explicitly disable shared IRQ before
issuing any IRQ-triggering operations.

I also changed spin_lock_irqsave to the ordinary spin_lock, since it
seems to be safe: chain does not contain new port (yet), thus nobody
will interfere us from the ISRs.
