Ilpo Järvinen f8d6e9d3ca serial: 8250: Fix __stop_tx() & DMA Tx restart races 
Commit e8ffbb71f7 ("serial: 8250: use THRE & __stop_tx also with
DMA") changed __dma_tx_complete() to enable THRI that is cleared in
__stop_tx() once THRE is asserted as UART runs out bits to transmit. It
is possible, however, that more data arrives in between in which case
serial8250_tx_dma() resumes Tx. THRI is not supposed to be on during
DMA Tx because DMA is based on completion handler, therefore THRI must
be cleared unconditionally in serial8250_tx_dma().

When Tx is about to start, another race window exists with
serial8250_handle_irq() leading to a call into __stop_tx() while the
Tx has already been resumed:

__tx_complete():
  -> spin_lock(port->lock)
  -> dma->tx_running = 0
  -> serial8250_set_THRI()
  -> spin_unlock(port->lock)

uart_start():
				serial8250_handle_irq():
  -> spin_lock(port->lock)
  -> serial8250_tx_dma():
    -> dma->tx_running = 1
  -> spin_unlock(port->lock)
				  -> spin_lock(port->lock)
				  -> __stop_tx()

Close this race by checking !dma->tx_running before calling into
__stop_tx().

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
