Subject: serial: samsung: fix potential soft lockup during uart write
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c15c3747ee32b6969f3cfbc86dc94923e3742d0a;p=linux-beck.git

serial: samsung: fix potential soft lockup during uart write

Certain tty line discipline implementations such slip and bluetooth hci invoke
the serial core uart_write() api in their write_wakeup callback. This leads to
a soft lockup with samsung serial driver since the uart port lock is taken in
the driver's interrupt handler and uart_write() attempts to take the same lock
again.

Fix this issue by releasing the uart port lock before the call to
uart_write_wakeup() in the tx handler. Also move the spin-lock/unlock sequence
from s3c64xx_serial_handle_irq() function into the tx and rx irq handlers so
that this change is applicable to s3c24xx platforms as well.
