No objection to the patch but I'm curious whether this is something you've
actually observed and under what circumstances.

No, the whole point of this mess is that omap-dma does not provide pause/resume
support (without data loss). omap-dma will only be suitable for pause/terminate 
dma.

And adding pause support doesn't address the underlying problem that dmaengine
is not providing a means of determining if suitable support is available for
use by serial drivers, so this same problem is just waiting to happen again.

I think the way forward is,

For -stable, disable dma in the 8250_omap driver.
Then for mainline,
* extend the dma_get_slave_caps() api to differentiate the types of pause 
support
* query dma_get_slave_caps() when setting up the slave channel in 8250_dma & 
8250_omap
  and only enable dma if suitable pause support is available
* add required dmaengine error checking in 8250_dma & 8250_omap _for unexpected 
errors_
  (so _not_ WARNs)
* do whatever with omap-dma. Not even sure it's worth trying to support dma 
with that;
  it still won't fully support tx dma which is forcing all kinds of goofy 
workarounds


Russell seemed to think that the current dma operation was necessary 
information to
differentiate types of pause support, but I don't think that's required.
As Sebastian's omap-dma driver patch shows, partial pause support has more
to do with how it's being used.

I too would prefer the bug to be fixed.

But calling it a regression is incorrect. There is no previous SHA in which this
problem didn't exist, except before either 8250_dma or 8250_omap was added.

That's your assertion; I've seen no documentation to back that up
(other than the de facto commit).

And quite frankly, that's absurd.

1. No other driver implements _only some_ use-cases of dmaengine_pause().
2. The number of users expecting dmaengine_pause to be implemented for
   non-cyclic dma transfers _dwarfs_ cyclic users.
3. There's a dedicated query interface, dma_get_slave_caps(), for which
   omap-dma returns /true/ -- not /maybe/ -- to indicate dmaengine_pause()
   is implemented.

As a consumer of the api, I'd much rather opt-out at device initialization
time knowing that a required feature is unimplemented, than discover it
at i/o time when it's too late.

An api which provides a means of determining if necessary functionality
is implemented _during setup_. That way the consumer of the api can
determine if the feature is supportable.

For example, dma_get_slave_caps() could differentiate
* pause for cyclic support
* pause for non-cyclic support
* pause and resume support
* pause and terminate support

While Sebastian's initial patch is a good first-cut at addressing
8250_omap's use of omap-dma, none of the patches address the general
design problem I have outlined above; namely, that simply returning
an error at use time for an unimplemented slave transaction is
fundamentally flawed.

Not that this is your responsibility, Sebastian, but considering there are
fewer than 20 users of dmaengine_pause() in the entire tree, we should add
WARN_ON_ONCE() around those uses with this patch to avoid a bunch needless
one-off "fixes".

No offense, Sebastian, but it boggles my mind that anyone could defend this
as solid api design. We're in the middle of an interrupt handler and the
slave dma driver is /just/ telling us now that it doesn't implement this
functionality?!!?

The dmaengine api has _so much_ setup and none of it contemplates telling the
consumer that critical functionality is missing?

Even dma_get_slave_caps() returns _true_ for cmd_pause support; ok, that
interface is pointless.

Rather than losing /critical data/ here, the interrupt handler should just
busy-wait until dmaengine_tx_status() returns DMA_COMPLETE for the rx_cookie.

Peter Hurley

Because it will generate tons of unnecessary reports when the patch that
WARNs inevitably ends up in mainline a version earlier than the patch that

I'm not sure to what you're referring here.

A WARNing fixes nothing.

If you mean some patch, as yet unwritten, that handles the dma cases when
dmaengine_pause() is unimplemented without data loss, ok, but please confirm
that's what you mean.

However, at some point one must look at the api and wonder if the separation
of concern has been drawn in the right place.

Yes, I missed that the api included a return code which the 8250 dma
code should be checking.

This is simply a bug that flew under the radar, much like every other
bug that gets fixed daily in mainline.

The omap-serial driver which doesn't use dma is still the preferred
stable driver for omap, for the moment.

One of the main features of the 8250_omap integration was the addition
of dma support. Without it, 8250_omap is ttyO in ttyS clothing.

Well, instead of me saying something snide about the lack of upstream serial
driver unit tests, I'll say I've been working on cleaning up and organizing
my own tty/serial subsystem and driver units tests which I hope to upstream
in the fall.

Those include i/o validators that ran this driver for days at time without
error at max line rate. Unfortunately, that hardware does not exhibit the
same problem as the DRA7 noted in the changelog.

FWIW, the actual bug is the api that silently does nothing.

That would be the original submission patch set for an entire driver,
the 8250_omap driver.

No. 8250 dma is not a stand-alone driver. Even if it were, how would you go
back and fix DTs in the wild?

The "binding" is built-in with a CONFIG_ switch.

What you're suggesting here is only possible if the entire 8250_omap driver
is removed, so that's a non-starter.

I suggest to wait on any solution until the correct fix is mainlined
and backported, as you note below.

Thanks for adding your hard-won knowledge to this discussion, Russell.
This saves us a bunch of wasted effort trying to fix x_char with DMA
(and TCSANOW termios changes and throttling).

That's what I saw too; almost all the dma drivers are broken wrt x_char.
The amba-pl011 driver gets it right.

'High' priority is meant relative to previously written data which has
not yet been sent.

'Better' would be sending the x_char when the current dma transfer
completes. However, it will probably have /some/ impact on what line
rates software flow control can be used. Worst case @ 115Kbaud is 35ms
delay in sending.

'Best' would be pausing the dma and sending the byte. However, I'm not
even sure if this is possible on OMAP; the TRM is woefully under-documented
in that regard.

I agree; this is what we should do first because someone might want it
for backports.

Exactly; and we need to fix DMA wrt x_char anyway.

Going back to the dmaengine api, I think something like this might work
(as a first approximation):

dma_sync_wait(dma->txchan, dma->tx_cookie);
dmaengine_pause(dma->txchan);

/* remainder of set_termios */

dmaengine_resume(dma->txchan);

Doesn't the dmaengine api offer a race-free way to wait for pending tx dma
to complete?

Maybe we could wrap that in the 8250 dma api?

I was never really a fan of the deferred set_termios();
I think it's more appropriate to wait for tx dma to
complete in omap_8250_set_termios().

Also, seriously consider if you want to use that TI line discipline at all.

If you're using it only for bluetooth w/ kernel bluetooth stack, you don't
need btwilink + st_drv anyway.

NAK.

This is a bug in the N_TI_WL line discipline, specifically in the
st_tx_wakeup() function, which cannot perform the write synchronously.

This is a common line discipline bug, and typically fixed by performing
the wakeup operations from a kworker instead.

Ok, then please make the reset a separate local function
(returning success/failure?). omap_8250_reset()?

A TODO or FIXME above it explaining
the temporary nature of the function would be appreciated :)

Yeah, I understand that, but special-casing it isn't adding any value;
it's not as if you actually want the module to not be in UART mode.

And the comment could be single-line:

/* Restore to UART mode after reset (for wakeup) */

This changelog is not clear. May I suggest:

serial: 8250_omap: Refactor MDR1 update

The errata [1] workaround implemented in follow-on patch,
"serial: 8250_omap: workaround errata on disabling UART after using DMA",
requires MDR1 register programming.

Extract MDR1 register update into helper function, omap8250_update_mdr1().

Not ok.

8250_omap was released with 3.19 and has been the default driver for
BeagleBone since 4.0.

Why is omap2 the only arch/SoC that does this; ie., call the runtime
callbacks after the system pm callbacks?

Whatever positive it brings, it's a mess at the driver level.
For example, this driver has to hook prepare()/complete() so it can
set local state so that it can detect when the runtime suspend
is being called during system suspend.

Peter Hurley

[PATCH] serial: 8250_omap: Remove auto-IXON flow control

2015-06-27 Thread Peter Hurley
OMAP h/w-assisted IXON flow control is borked. The transmitter becomes
stuck if XON is never received; clearing the fifos or resetting the
rx flow control bits has no effect.

Remove auto-IXANY as well, since without auto-IXON, it has no purpose.

So the wilink8 module is the only thing that can be plugged

I think all this really needs to go into a DT overlay.

Just an FYI - support for handling of _any_ console command line
string by _any_ driver was accepted for 4.01; the console can
declare a match() function which will be called at registration time
for every console command line, and can opt to perform console setup
using any criteria.

This provides a migration path for _any_ driver (and also allow any
earlycon-to-console handoff for non-8250 drivers by using a defined
match() function to match the appropriate earlycon= command line; the
particulars are in the univ8250_console_match() kernel-doc header in
-next).

I think for the moment we should just freeze omap-serial and let
most of userspace catch up first; a lot of the official and
unofficial vender support is still stuck in 3.14. By the time,
3.19+ is de rigueur we'll hopefully have figured out the ttyS
sharing and how to migrate without breaking userspace.

I agree -- thanks for bringing the topic up.

Not really; if the omap_8250 is selected then it is probed first
and will be the only driver claiming omap UART ports.

omap-serial would just be dead-weight.

Not quite; the only automatic handling is for console only, not for
userspace. Expect lots of userspace breakage.

For omap this would just be:

serial_out(up, UART_FCR, UART_FCR_CLEAR_RCVR | UART_FCR_CLEAR_XMIT);

In any event, the fifo enable/disable is probably not happening since
FIFO_EN is ignored unless the divisor == 0.

omap doesn't really need the legacy irq chain handling; this could just be
request_irq().

In the 8250 split I'll be posting soon, all the irq chaining and
polling-via-timeout workarounds stays in the universal/legacy driver so
other 8250 drivers can opt-out.

None of this is required because there is no OUT2 on omap.

None of this is required because none of the probing is taking place.

I agree with Russell on this; better to stick with the rx read that's been
running on 20 years of hardware.

That said, I don't think serial8250_do_startup() is really doing that much
for OMAP h/w startup; open-coding what omap_8250 really needs is probably
< 10 loc.

Peter Hurley

That's fine with me. There's a 'bugs' field in struct 8250_uart_port and
UART_BUG_* defines in 8250/8250.h for that purpose.

Yep, I see no safe way to clear the spurious interrupt [1] and no idea how to
keep it from happening (other than via the unsolicited RX reads in
serial8250_do_startup).

tty: serial: 8250_core: read only RX if there is something in the FIFO

which just means OMAP3630 will be limited to using the omap_serial driver.

Regards,
Peter Hurley

[1]  To clear the RX timeout interrupt requires reading the rx fifo even though
LSR[data ready] indicates no data. However, this could result in dropped data
if the data became available just before clearing the RX timeout. For example,

Thanks for this information; I see I was wrong about the cause of message.

I think what happens during startup is that on this silicon clearing
the rx fifo (by serial8250_clear_fifos()) clears data ready but not
the rx timeout condition which causes a spurious rx interrupt when
interrupts are enabled.

So caught between two broken UARTs: one that underflows its rx fifo because
of unsolicited rx reads and the other that generates spurious interrupt
without unsolicited rx reads.

Yes, IIR == UART_IIR_RX_TIMEOUT is to used indicate that data is in the rx fifo
but has not reached the rx trigger level yet.

ATM, I'm not exactly sure if there is a safe way to clear the spurious interrupt
from the interrupt handler.

I'm fairly certain the only way to clear the rx timeout interrupt is to read
the rx fifo, but I think this would race with actual data arrival. IOW, there
might not be a way to determine if the data read is spurious or not.

Peter Hurley

The "too much work" message means serial8250_handle_irq() is returning 0,
ie., not handled. Which in turn means IIR indicates no interrupt is pending
(UART_IIR_NO_INT == 1).

Can you log the register values for LSR and IIR at both patch locations
in serial8250_do_startup()?

(I can get you a debug patch, if necessary. Let me know)

[PATCH 4/4] tty: Remove external interface for tty_set_termios()

2015-01-25 Thread Peter Hurley
tty_set_termios() is an internal helper intended for file scope use.

UART drivers which are capable of driving the RTS pin must
properly handle the tiocmset() method, regardless of termios settings.
A failure to do so is a UART driver bug and should be fixed there.
Do not use this interface to workaround UART driver bugs.

[PATCH 3/4] serial: omap: Fix RTS handling

2015-01-25 Thread Peter Hurley
The OMAP UART ignores MCR[1] (ie., RTS) when in autoRTS mode. This
makes it impossible for either the serial core or userspace to
manually flow control the sender.

Disable autoRTS mode when RTS is lowered and restore the previous
mode when RTS is raised.

[PATCH 2/4] serial: 8250_omap: Use UPSTAT_AUTORTS for RTS handling

2015-01-25 Thread Peter Hurley
Commit 88838d3112702 ("serial: omap_8250: Fix RTS handling") fixed
RTS pin control when in autoRTS mode.

New support added in "serial: core: Rework hw-assisted flow control support"
enables a much simpler approach; rather than masking out autoRTS
whenever writing the EFR register, use the UPSTAT_* mode to determine if
autoRTS should be enabled when raising RTS (in omap8250_set_mctrl()).

[PATCH 1/4] serial: core: Rework hw-assisted flow control support

2015-01-25 Thread Peter Hurley
hw-assisted flow control support was added to the serial core
in v3.8 with commits,
dba05832cbe4f ("SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted h/w flow control support")
2cbacafd7af0f ("SERIAL: core: add hardware assisted s/w flow control support")
9aba8d5b01119 ("SERIAL: core: add throttle/unthrottle callbacks for hardware
assisted flow control")
Since then, additional requirements for serial core support have arisen.
Specifically,
1. Separate tx and rx flow control settings for UARTs which only support
   tx flow control (ie., autoCTS).
2. Disable sw-assisted CTS flow control in autoCTS mode
3. Support for RTS flow control by serial core and userspace in autoRTS mode

Distinguish mode from capability; introduce UPSTAT_AUTORTS, UPSTAT_AUTOCTS
and UPSTAT_AUTOXOFF which, when set by the uart driver, enable serial core
support for hw-assisted rx, hw-assisted tx and hw-assisted in-band/IXOFF
rx flow control, respectively. [Note: hw-assisted in-band/IXON tx flow
control does not require serial core support/intervention and can be
enabled by the uart driver when required.]

These modes must be set/reset in the driver's set_termios() method, based
on termios settings, and thus can be safely queried in any context in which
one of the port lock, port mutex or termios rwsem are held. Set these modes
in the 2 in-tree drivers, omap-serial and 8250_omap, which currently
use UPF_HARD_FLOW/UPF_SOFT_FLOW support.

Retain UPF_HARD_FLOW and UPF_SOFT_FLOW as capabilities; re-define
UPF_HARD_FLOW as both UPF_AUTO_RTS and UPF_AUTO_CTS to allow for distinct
and separate rx and tx flow control capabilities.

Disable sw-assisted CTS flow control when UPSTAT_AUTOCTS is enabled.

[PATCH 0/4] Rework hw-assisted flow control

2015-01-25 Thread Peter Hurley
Hi Greg,

This patch series re-implements hw-assisted flow control support,
(aka autoRTS, autoCTS and auto XON/XOFF) in the serial core.
Out-of-tree driver maintainers please note this changes the UART
driver interface for flow control steering.

This series separates mode handling from the capabilities flags.
UPF_HARD_FLOW and UPF_SOFT_FLOW continue to indicate the hardware
is capable of hw-assisted flow control; in addition, UPF_HARD_FLOW
is split into separate capabilities (UPF_AUTO_CTS and UPF_AUTO_RTS)
should the driver require the distinction.

However, the serial core only checks UPF_SOFT_FLOW (to determine
if the UART driver is capable of auto XON/XOFF flow control and
thus needs its set_termios() method called).

Flow control steering in the serial core is now determined by
the uart_port::status field, and the newly introduced
UPSTAT_AUTOCTS, UPSTAT_AUTORTS and UPSTAT_AUTOXOFF for
autoCTS tx flow control, autoRTS rx flow control and auto
IXOFF flow control respectively. [Core support for auto IXON did
not seem necessary, as core intervention does not seem required --
please let me know if that's not the case.]

Typically, the driver should set or reset these flags in their
set_termios() method (in the port lock critical section, if
port lock is used), depending on the hardware capabilities and
requirement.

All drivers which enable hardware autoCTS mode MUST set UPSTAT_AUTOCTS
to prevent the serial core from inadvertently disabling tx. In this
mode, hw_stopped = 0 and uart_handle_cts_change() perform no action
(other than bumping the cts stat for diagnostic purposes).

For hardware which does not automatically disable autoRTS mode
when RTS is lowered or otherwise desires to implement
throttle()/unthrottle() methods, the driver MUST set UPSTAT_AUTORTS.
In this mode, the uart driver throttle()/unthrottle() methods
are called, rather than lowering RTS via set_mctrl().

UPSTAT_AUTORTS _must not_ be set for drivers which do not implement
throttle()/unthrottle() methods; in this case, set_mctrl() is still used
to control the RTS pin.

Even for drivers using UPSTAT_AUTORTS, the driver is still responsible
for properly implementing RTS handling in set_mctrl(), regardless of
current termios settings or hardware mode. That is, if the hardware
is capable of driving the RTS pin, the driver's set_mctrl() method
must lower RTS if !TIOCM_RTS. If that requires disabling autoRTS mode,
then that shall be done. The serial core and userspace must be able to
manually flow control with RTS.

When handling set_mctrl(), the driver may check the uart_port::status
UPSTAT_AUTORTS bit to determine if it set autoRTS mode at set_termios(),
and thus whether to restore its autoRTS mode when RTS is raised. In other
words, the driver does not need to set/check its own private state.

All drivers which enable hardware auto IXOFF flow control mode
MUST set UPSTAT_AUTOXOFF. As with UPSTAT_AUTORTS, throttle()/unthrottle()
methods are required. When this mode is set, the core will _not_ send
START/STOP, and expects the driver/hardware to do so.

This patch series converts in-tree drivers to this 'new' interface.

The last patch rips out a private interface hack being used by a
bluetooth host controller driver to tickle RTS for device wakeup;
this is no longer required now that the offending in-tree driver,
omap-serial, properly drives RTS in autoRTS mode.

Maybe you misunderstood me here. I'm suggesting that every ttyS-capable
driver would be able to load into a pre-determined, unique alternate
namespace. So at least one ttyS driver would be present, without naming
conflicts, and every other ttyS-conflicting driver would be loaded
in their respective alternate namespace.

Unless what you mean is there is some userspace requirement for the
ttyS namespace to be shared. If so, would you please expand on this use
case so I can better understand the requirements.

A dt property could indicate which uart is the preferred ttyS.

I'm concerned that this will devolve into some attempt at a
persistent naming scheme from kernel-space; which has repeatedly been
shown in other subsystems to be fruitless. That was my point about
the ethernet adapters.

I have no problem sequentially numbering uarts as ttyS, but it would
suck if that amount of work ultimately proved useless, when udev rules
would have sufficed or became necessary anyway.

I'm not totally convinced that sharing minor allocation is the right
solution. ISTM that the main goal is for at least one serial driver
to represent ttyS (assuming that it is a suitable work-alike to the
8250 driver) while other ttyS serial drivers must still be able to
load and operate.

So for example, a UART that is ttyS in a typical configuration, might
be ttyX when another driver has been configured as ttyS instead.
Assuming that every uart driver has a unique, alternate base name,
then the problem is reduced to selecting the appropriate driver for
ttyS.

Some use cases would require selecting the ttyS driver at build time.
Others would probably require the notion of a preferred driver.

What got me thinking about this approach instead of sharing minor
allocation was based on the 'first-come, first-served' question

Well, this patch has the "advantage" of allowing the user to override
the config and create blank ports anyway.

That said, I'm exploring a completely different approach: I've split the
driver from the port operations. The idea being that the existing
"universal" driver supports everything it does now, while allowing for
a new driver(s) to only support a subset.

At this point, I've only done the actual split. So the "universal" driver
module has:
 * ISA/"serial8250" platform driver
 * PNP init
 * uart driver and console definitions
 * all the existing module parameters
 * all the globals (except the const uart_config[] table)
 * RSA port handling
 * Chained interrupt handling
 * port i/o by timer handling
 * early_serial_setup()
 * sun ttyS shared registration
 * serial8250_ports[] table and how it re-uses existing ports

The "universal" driver also has the sub-driver interface, which is:
 * serial8250_register_8250_port
 * serial8250_unregister_port
 * serial8250_suspend/resume_port
 * serial8250_find_port (hack for 8250_early)
 * serial8250_get_port (hack for runtime pm)

This interface is just storage and minor allocation, since the
port-reuse behavior will be limited to the "universal" driver.
>From a sub-driver perspective, the shared storage is actually
a hindrance, so that reduces the requirement to minor allocation.

And that's where I'm stuck at the moment -- how to share ttyS
minor allocation. ttyS console is a related problem.

Well, the PCI driver would have the proper irq, for one. So, if the

Unfortunately, I don't see a way to remove the stacked initialization
without risking tons of breakage.

Since later probes can "find" an already-existing port and
re-initialize it, the probe order is crucial. For example, a PCI
probe can "find" an existing "serial8250" platform device port,
resulting in only one device node.

And the configuration knob will be required on all arches anyway because
that's how user-configurable device nodes are created.

PNP probe must occur before the phantom ports are registered.

[PATCH] serial: 8250: Make ISA ports optional

2015-01-05 Thread Peter Hurley
Some arches have no need to create unprobed 8250 ports; these phantom
ports are primarily required for ISA ports which have no probe
mechanism or to provide non-operational ports for userspace to
configure (via TIOCSSERIAL and TIOCSERCONFIG ioctls).

Provide CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PHANTOM_UARTS knob to disable phantom port
registration; ie., CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PHANTOM_UARTS=N only registers
probed ports (ACPI/PNP, "serial8250" platform devices, PCI, etc).

[PATCH] serial: omap_8250: Fix RTS handling, part B

2014-12-31 Thread Peter Hurley
Because the OMAP3 UART ignores MCR[1] (RTS) in autoRTS mode, autoRTS
mode must not be enabled unless RTS is set (or port->mctrl & TIOCM_RTS,
which is equivalent).

Fixes premature raising of RTS in omap_8250_set_termios() -- RTS was
raised even before UART mode was selected.
Fixes raise of RTS after port has been shutdown; omap_8250_pm() re-enabled
RTS after omap_8250_shutdown().

[PATCH] serial: omap_8250: Fix RTS handling

2014-12-30 Thread Peter Hurley
The OMAP3 UART ignores MCR[1] (ie., UART_MCR_RTS) when in autoRTS
mode (UPF_HARD_FLOW + CRTSCTS). This makes it impossible for either
the serial core or userspace to manually flow control the sender.

Disable autoRTS mode when RTS is lowered and restore the previous
mode when RTS is raised.

Note that the OMAP3 UART provides no mechanism for switching from
autoRTS mode without corrupting incoming data; to access the
necessary register, the line control settings must be set to 8-e-2
and thus any data received during that time will be interpreted with
those settings. This corruption has been observed in practice.

I have seen the irq 0 error messages on the black since 3.18+, but didn't
bisect it yet. For me, these errors occurred with a slightly misconfigured
emacs24-nox, which drove the cpu load way up - over 50% - with just
cursor movement (it still gets above 20% which seems unacceptably high).

I'm not sure if all the crashes were over ssh; I hadn't considered
the cpsw relevant until reading this. I'll retest over the serial console.

I have seen abrupt resets without messages on earlier kernels so perhaps
the commit is not the root cause.

Regards,
Peter Hurley

Maybe it's unfair to blame them; Linaro just took a snapshot and
released what was there.

If gcc is going to retain the "change release number then add all the
new features" model, some kind of prerelease indicator would help
eliminate this kind of problem. And that indicator should be both
a preprocessor define and parseable from the command line :)

 Looking at http://gcc.gnu.org/PR58854 it seems that all 4.8.x for x < 3
 are affected, as well as 4.9.0.

 Before blacklisting anything, it's worth considering that simple version
 checks would break existing pre-4.8.3 compilers that have been patched
 for PR58854.  It looks like Yocto and Buildroot issued releases with
 patched 4.8.2 compilers well before the (fixed) 4.8.3 release.  I think
 the most we can reasonably do without breaking some correctly-behaving
 toolchains is to emit a warning.

If the distro/build system/individual is capable of patching gcc, then it
seems reasonable that the same distro/build system/individual is capable
of carrying a patch on top of mainline kernel for building with their
"special" compiler.

Providing a manual switch to override blacklisting is way more sane
than a build warning that no one's looking at.

I just verified that GNU readline6 uses ioctl(TCSETSW, ...) to do the 
set_termios
(which is the ioctl that libc should use for tcsetattr(TCSADRAIN)).

Maybe this userspace is using a readline()-alike that has a bug by not using the
correct tcsetattr() action?
Or maybe the glibc-equivalent has the bug, and tcsetattr(TCSADRAIN) is not using
ioctl(TCSETSW)?

I would've thought the first 2 patches had already been picked up because
they fix div-by-zero faults.

I don't really have a problem with the patch (except for it should be
selectable, even if that's just a CONFIG_ setting). At the same time,
the performance results don't really make sense; so if there's actually
an underlying problem, I'd rather that get addressed (and the long
interrupt latency may be the underlying problem).

As far as the 8250 driver and threaded irqs go, I just was hoping for
another data point with a simple hard-coded test jig, not a full-blown
patch series for all of them. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

readline() does this; it 'saves' the caller's termios, sets termios
for non-canonical reads, reads one char, and 'restores' the caller's
termios.

I'm not excited at the prospect of an omap-specific irq handler, especially
if this is just a silicon bug. I think it will create and encourage
unnecessary code variation in the 8250 driver. The inertia of an
omap-specific irq handler will mean it will probable stay forever. Suppose
this tx dma bug is later discovered to be fixable inline (rather than by
state), then we'll be stuck with an irq handler that no one will want to
integrate.

Yeah, that's weird. Do you have a break-out box to confirm that RTS/CTS are
being driven?

System work should not keep irqs from being serviced. Even 174us is a long
time not to service an interrupt. Maybe console writes are keeping the isr
from running?

Also, do you see the same performance differential when you implement this

Why is the threadirqs kernel boot option not sufficient?
Or conversely, shouldn't this be selectable?

Ok.

I do need to find out if omap hardware sets UART_MSR_DCTS when auto CTS
is on. Would you mind running the debug patch below with HW flow control on?

One difference I noticed between the omap driver and the 8250 driver is
the way modem status interrupts are handled.

The omap driver only checks modem status for the UART_IIR_MSI interrupt type.
The 8250 driver checks modem status at every interrupt (other than NO_INT).

I think the UART_MSR_DCTS bit always reflects that the CTS input has changed
between reads of the MSR _even if auto CTS is on_. So perhaps the hardware
is being stopped by uart_handle_cts_change() when auto CTS is on?

Regards,
Peter Hurley

[The UPF_HARD_FLOW thing was pretty much just done for omap even though
8250 already had auto CTS/auto RTS. Serial core hardware flow control support
needs a redo as drivers have pretty much tacked stuff on randomly.]

The serial core calls the ->set_termios() method with interrupts enabled.

Otherwise, the read_status_mask will mask out the BI condition, so
uart_insert_char() will send '\0' byte as TTY_NORMAL.

The 8250 and omap RX path differed so the omap driver didn't need this
change, whereas the 8250 driver does.

I'm aware that this is basically from the omap driver but can someone clear
up if omap hardware can actually do UPF_HARD_FLOW and UPF_SOFT_FLOW
simultaneously? The datasheets that I've looked at say no.

right, but that's unnecessary. You can pm_runtime_get() every time
start_tx() is called. Just make sure to put everytime stop_tx() is
called too.


The interface is asymmetric.

start_tx() may be invoked multiple times for which only 1 interrupt
will occur, and thus only invoke __stop_tx() once.

I just opened minicom on ttyS0 and gave a try. start_tx() was invoked
each time I pressed a key (sent a character). I haven't seen stop_tx()
even after after I closed minicom. I guess stop_tx() is invoked if you
switch half-duplex communication.


that's bad, I expected stop to be called also after each character.


The 8250 core auto-stops tx when the tx ring buffer is empty (except
in the case of dma, where stopping tx isn't necessary).

through bluetooth-next because it fixes an oops).

Marcel,

You may want to build on top of this patch split handling;
I noticed some of the protocol drivers are calling
hci_uart_tx_wakeup() from work functions already (so don't
need to schedule another work...)

Regards,
Peter Hurley
