I've also deleted UPQ_DELAY_BEFORE_READ and test serial_port_needs_delay directly in io_serial_in, so that the compiler will optimize it out on non-alpha architectures. > But, there is no other way to detect this based on hardware > signatures/types instead? That is usually the best way to do it, right? It's hard to detect Alpha without using '#ifdef CONFIG_ALPHA' :) The ISA serial port hardware is simple, so I think that you can't distinguish it just based on its behavior. > thanks, > > greg k-h > From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> alpha: add a delay before serial port read The patch 92d7223a74235054f2aa7227d207d9c57f84dca0 ("alpha: io: reorder barriers to guarantee writeX() and iowriteX() ordering #2") broke boot on the Alpha Avanti platform. The patch changes timing between accesses to the ISA bus, in particular, it reduces the time between "write" access and a subsequent "read" access. This causes lock-up when accessing the real time clock and serial ports. This patch fixes the serial ports by adding a small delay before the "inb" instruction.
