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.
