[PATCH 09/16] tty: serial: 8250_dma: Add a TX trigger workaround for AM33xx
At least on AM335x the following problem exists: Even if the TX FIFO is
empty and a TX transfer is programmed (and started) the UART does not
trigger the DMA transfer.
After $TRESHOLD number of bytes have been written to the FIFO manually the
UART reevaluates the whole situation and decides that now there is enough
room in the FIFO and so the transfer begins.
This problem has not been seen on DRA7 or beagle board xm (OMAP3). I am not
sure if this is UART-IP core specific or DMA engine.
The workaround is to use a threshold of one byte, program the DMA
transfer minus one byte and then to put the first byte into the FIFO to
kick start the transfer.
v7…v8:
- fix the problem when get invoked and the FIFO is full.

I don't think we should go ahead with this patch. I'm pretty sure
this is AM335 specific problem, or at least limited to only few
platforms. And I don't think we should take any more "BUG" flags.
We should add hooks like tx_dma and rx_dma to struct uart_8250_dma so
that the probe drivers can replace serial8250_tx_dma and
seria8250_rx_dma, like I think Alan already suggested.
Let's keep serial8250_tx_dma/rx_dma as the default, and not add any
quirks to them. Only if there is a very common case should it be
handled in those. The case of RX req needing to be sent before data in
FIFO maybe one of those, but I'm no sure.

Okay. Wasn't aware that Alan already suggested that.
I also need a watchdog timer for TX since it seems that on omap3 the
DMA engine suddenly forgets to continue with DMA…
If this is really what we want, I would need to refactor a few things…

keep in mind that both (RX & TX bugs/hacks) need also a bit of handling
in the 8250-core so it works together (like the tx_err member so we
fall back to manual xmit)

So perhaps the hardware > is being stopped by uart_handle_cts_change() when auto CTS is on? I doubt that. What I see from a timer debug is that the TX-FIFO level is at 0, the DMA transfer for say 1024 bytes start. The FIFO is filled to 64bytes and refilled so it doesn't drop below 50. At the time of the stall I see that the DMA engine has outstanding bytes which it should transfer and the TX FIFO is empty. If hardware flow control stops the transfer, I would expect that the DMA engine still fills the TX-FIFO until 64 and then waits. But it doesn't. Writing bytes into the FIFO leads to bytes beeing sent (and I see them on the other side) but the DMA transfer is still on hold. Canceling the DMA transfer and re-programming the remaining bytes transfers the remaining bytes. The odd thing is that I only triggered it with "less file". It doesn't happen on regular console interaction or "cat large-file". And it only triggers on beagle board xm (omap34xx) and I wasn't able to reproduce it on am335x or dra7. The latter shares the same DMA engine as beagle board xm. I remember also that I disabled the HW/SW float control just to make sure it is not it. > > Regards, > Peter Hurley > > [The UPF_HARD_FLOW thing was pretty much just done for omap even though > 8250 already had auto CTS/auto RTS.

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?

If there is a TX operation in progress then ->start_tx() will simply return and the xmit buffer will be send once the current TX operation completes. Is there anything I can do to reproduce this behavior? This problem only pops-up if you use DMA. With disabled DMA you don't see this, right?

So I booted my mini Debian 7.6 (basic system + openssh) on my beagle bone black which is: [0.00] AM335X ES2.0 (neon ) configured a console, login, invoked "less file".

So far it looks like it isn't in the config. I've tested both your and my config on debian wheezy on a boneblack. No lock ups. Less doesn't fill my entire screen, so it looks a bit funky when scrolling, but I'm not sure if that's related to the driver.

Hi, Yesterday's testing was a bit messy. So here goes again.

It could be environmental. I have three test cases right now. Two of them on the beagle bone black, the third on our custom am335x based platform. - All test cases run the same kernel built from uart_v10-pre1. - For the black, the board, dtb, and u-boot environment are equal for the test cases. - Bone Black: Debian 7.5 Login, "less file" doesn't lock up. Scrolling down looks sensible. Scrolling up leaves me with a crooked display, provided the minicom window is more than 24 lines high. Condensed example: Normal less looks like: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in : While after scrolling up it looks like minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in : Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad vi works sensibly, but only occupies part of the total screen estate in minicom. After quitting, minicom doesn't use the rest of the screen estate anymore. After running vi, less doesn't show the weird scrolling behavior anymore, since the console has just been limited to 24x80. - Bone Black: Yocto poky, core-image-minimal Login, "less file" locks up, doesn't show anything. I can exit using Ctrl-C. vi runs normally, only occupies part of the total screen estate in minicom. After quitting, a weird character shows up (typically I see ÿ there), but minicom can use the rest of the screen estate again. If we disregard the odd character, this is much like the behavior we have on the omap-serial driver. - Custom board: Yocto poky, custom image Login, "less file" locks up, showing only "ÿ" in the top left corner of the screen. Can get out of there by having something dumped through /dev/kmsg. vi: see "Bone Black: Yocto poky, core-image-minimal" Having it summed up like this, I think we're back at ncurses and its interaction with the serial driver.

Correct. However there is another change due to the RX_DMA_BUG. A while ago you said that this RX_DMA_BUG thing might be something that other SoC could use, too. If you ask me now for my own irq routine it would make sense to move RX bug handling into omap specific code as well. > Cheers, Sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

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.

Well, there are no other SoCs at the moment that would need it, and it's actually possible that there never will be. So yes, just handle that also in the omap specific code.

Wow, thanks for your work here. This does indeed sound hard to trap. I guess then we'd still have to answer the question why the yocto build calls set_termios() so often, but that's not on you then. Did you notice it even changing settings? We might want to fix this even if the kernel should be able to cope.

The tty core calls the driver's wait_until_sent() method before changing the termios (if TCSADRAIN is used for tcsetattr(), which I think for readline() it does). But DMA is cheating if the UART driver's tx_empty() method is saying the transmitter is empty while TX DMA is still running.

This shouldn't be the case. But I will check this once I able to. After TX-DMA is done, "xmit->tail" is updated and port.icount.tx is incremented. At this time the TX FIFO is still full (up to 64 bytes) and I set UART_IER_THRI to wait until TX FIFO is empty so I can disable runtime-pm. Therefore I would assume LSR does not say BOTH_EMPTY until the FIFO is empty. >Regards, >Peter Hurley Sebastian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I added
|#define BOTH_EMPTY (UART_LSR_TEMT | UART_LSR_THRE)
|trace_printk("delay <%d>\n", (lsr & BOTH_EMPTY) == BOTH_EMPTY ? 1 : 0);
in my set_termios() and the trace shows
| vi-949 [000] d...70.477002: omap8250_restore_regs: delay
<0>
so no, it does not wait until TX FIFO is empty. It looks like it uses
TCSANOW instead of TCSADRAIN. And since this looks "legal" I will delay
it until TX-DMA is complete because it is known to stall the DMA operation.

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)?

set_termios() has an opt argument. While doing ":n" in vi I see two invocations
with "opt == 8" which stands for TCSETS.
browsing through vi's code I stumbled upon
|static void rawmode(void)
|{
…
|tcsetattr_stdin_TCSANOW(&term_vi);
|}
|int FAST_FUNC tcsetattr_stdin_TCSANOW(const struct termios *tp)
|{
|return tcsetattr(STDIN_FILENO, TCSANOW, tp);
|}
and this is probably what you meant. There is also
| static void cookmode(void)
| {
| fflush_all();
| tcsetattr_stdin_TCSANOW(&term_orig);
| }
However I don't see __tty_perform_flush() in kernel invoked.

libc is "GNU C Library 2.20".

This version fixes the console things for us. It also increases the amount of data we can push over the serial port. If I push the data towards our requirements, we're not there yet.

There is a patch named "ARM: edma: unconditionally ack the error interrupt". I have the feeling that this is not really required once we delay set_termios. I couldn't reproduce the bug with beagleblack with my usual test case. For your "too much work for irq" problem: Could you add trace_printk() in tx/rx dma start/complete, and irq routine? The interresting part is what is the irq routine doing once entered. It might be a condition that is ignored at first and "acked" later while serving another event.

So if I understand you correct, then you enter serial8250_interrupt()
and then you enter multiple times omap_8250_dma_handle_irq() and
you always get a TIMEOUT event and fetch byte(s) manualy via
serial8250_rx_chars(). And after one iteration UART_IIR_NO_INT is not
set and you do it again, right?
I have no idea when exactly the timeout-interrupt fires. The manual
says: "… the count is reset when there is activity on uarti_rx …" but it
does not say how often it increments before the level is reached.
It also might be that you have a small gap between two bytes and this
high baud rate the gap is considered as a timeout event.
Another thing could be that if the we enqueue a RX transfer from the
dma_completion callback then we have too many bytes in the FIFO already
becahse the callback is invoked from softirq. What happens if we cut the
middle man via
