This shouldn't happen because if dma-rx_running is set, then there should be a descriptor to pause. Could check how this could happen?

I just pushed uart_v9_pre2 and I will post it once I rebased it on top Greg's latest. There was a bug where THRE could be active longer than needed caused a few not needed interrupts until the FIFO was empty again. My less on file test case did not fail anymore with this.

Thanks for the respin. I've just tested the series a bit. Here's some things I ran into. - Basic console use is better than the previous series. It behaves pretty much like the omap-serial implementation. - ncurses based applications (vi, less) don't play nice for me on the console with this series. less doesn't show me anything. vi doesn't return to console properly. - I seem seem to get stuck in a serial8250: too much work for irq%d loop somewhat reliably. We have a rather demanding application with typically somewhere between 600 and 1000 byte packets being sent at 240Hz (roughly somewhere between 1.5 and 2 Mb/s). We run at baudrate 3500k. I get into this too much work thing already when running at 300 bytes per packet. I hope this is of some use to you. I'll do more testing later.
