Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] tty: serial: 8250_omap: fix tx with dma
Date: Tue, 6 May 2025 16:07:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250506150748.3162-1-mans@mansr.com> (raw)
Commit 1788cf6a91d9 ("tty: serial: switch from circ_buf to kfifo")
introduced an error in the TX DMA handling for 8250_omap.
When the OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK flag is set, one byte is pulled from the
kfifo and emitted directly in order to start the DMA. This is done
without updating DMA tx_size which leads to uart_xmit_advance() called
in the DMA complete callback advancing the kfifo by one too much.
In practice, transmitting N bytes has been seen to result in the last
N-1 bytes being sent repeatedly.
This change fixes the problem by moving all of the dma setup after
the OMAP_DMA_TX_KICK handling and using kfifo_len() instead of the
dma size for the 4-byte cutoff check. This slightly changes the
behaviour at buffer wraparound, but it still transmits the correct
bytes somehow. At the point kfifo_dma_out_prepare_mapped is called,
at least one byte is guaranteed to be in the fifo, so checking the
return value is not necessary.
