From 90f04c2926cfb5bf74533b0a7766bc896f6a0c0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomoya MORINAGA Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:55:27 +0900 Subject: pch_uart: Fix DMA resource leak issue Changing UART mode PIO->DMA->PIO->DMA like below, pch_uart driver can't get DMA channel resource. setserial /dev/ttyPCH0 ^low_latency setserial /dev/ttyPCH0 low_latency CAUSE: Changing mode using setserial command, ".startup" function which gets DMA channel is called before ".verify_port" function which sets dma-flag(use_dma/use_dma_flag) as 1. PIO->DMA .startup: Since dma-flag is 0, DMA channel is not requested. .verify_port: dma-flag is set as 1. .shutdown: N/A DMA->PIO .startup: Since dma-flag is 1, DMA channel is requested. .verify_port: dma-flag is set as 0. .shutdown: Since dma-flag is 0, DMA channel is not released. This means DMA channel resource leak occurs. Next time, this driver can't get DMA channel resource forever. MODIFICATION: Currently, when release DMA channel resource, this driver checks dma-flag. However, this specification occurs the above issue. This driver must check whether dma_request_channel is executed or not. The values are saved in private data variable "chan_tx/chan_tx". These variables mean if the value is NULL, DMA channel is not requested, if not NULL, DMA channel is requested. This patch fixes the issue.
