This patch set is to address two msm serial driver's lockup issues. The first lockup issue is a well known and common issue which is caused by recursive locking between normal printing and the kernel debugging facilities (e.g. sysrq and oops). Patch 0001 follows up other drivers general approach to fix this lockup issue. The second lockup issue is related with msm serial driver's specific implementation. Since the serial driver invokes dma related operations after has acquired spinlock, then the dma functions might allocat dma descriptors and when the system has very less free memory the kernel tries to print out warning, this leads to recursive output and causes deadlock. Patch 0002 is used to resolve this deadlock issue. These two patches have been tested on DB410c with backported on 4.14.96, they also have been verified with mainline kernel for boot testing. Changes from v1: * Added 'Fixes' tags for two patches (Jeffrey Hugo). * Added cover letter for more clear context description (Jeffrey Hugo).
