John Keeping bbec5998d7 serial: 8250: Fix fifo underflow on flush
commit 9e512eaaf8f4008c44ede3dfc0fbc9d9c5118583 upstream.

When flushing the serial port's buffer, uart_flush_buffer() calls
kfifo_reset() but if there is an outstanding DMA transfer then the
completion function will consume data from the kfifo via
uart_xmit_advance(), underflowing and leading to ongoing DMA as the
driver tries to transmit another 2^32 bytes.

This is readily reproduced with serial-generic and amidi sending even
short messages as closing the device on exit will wait for the fifo to
drain and in the underflow case amidi hangs for 30 seconds on exit in
tty_wait_until_sent().  A trace of that gives:

     kworker/1:1-84    [001]    51.769423: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=3 fifo_len=3
           amidi-763   [001]    51.769460: bprint:               uart_flush_buffer: resetting fifo
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.769474: bprint:               __dma_tx_complete: tx_size=3
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.769479: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=4096 fifo_len=4294967293
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.781295: bprint:               __dma_tx_complete: tx_size=4096
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.781301: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=4096 fifo_len=4294963197
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.793131: bprint:               __dma_tx_complete: tx_size=4096
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.793135: bprint:               serial8250_tx_dma: tx_size=4096 fifo_len=4294959101
 irq/21-fe530000-76    [000]    51.804949: bprint:               __dma_tx_complete: tx_size=4096

Since the port lock is held in when the kfifo is reset in
uart_flush_buffer() and in __dma_tx_complete(), adding a flush_buffer
hook to adjust the outstanding DMA byte count is sufficient to avoid the
kfifo underflow.

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.
