Re: [PATCH backport to 4.19 and below 1/1] serial: 8250: Flush DMA Rx on RLSI

["Ilpo Järvinen" <ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1349 bytes --]

commit 1980860e0c8299316cddaf0992dd9e1258ec9d88 upstream.

Returning true from handle_rx_dma() without flushing DMA first creates
a data ordering hazard. If DMA Rx has handled any character at the
point when RLSI occurs, the non-DMA path handles any pending characters
jumping them ahead of those characters that are pending under DMA.
