From 0f66e50af53d39edebf4bc64ef90077e738c171f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sonic Zhang Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2011 00:16:43 -0500 Subject: serial: bfin_5xx: split uart RX lock from uart port lock to avoid deadlock The RX lock is used to protect the RX buffer from concurrent access in DMA mode between the timer and RX interrupt routines. It is independent from the uart lock which is used to protect the TX buffer. It is possible for a uart TX transfer to be started up from the RX interrupt handler if low latency is enabled. So we need to split the locks to avoid deadlocking in this situation. In PIO mode, the RX lock is not necessary because the handle_simple_irq and handle_level_irq functions ensure driver interrupt handlers are called once on one core. And now that the RX path has its own lock, the TX interrupt has nothing to do with the RX path, so disabling it at the same time.
