Hi,
when 8250 driver calls uart_write_wakeup(), the tty port lock is already
taken. hci_ldisc.c's implementation of ->write_wakeup() calls
tty->ops->write() to actually send the characters, but that call will
try to acquire the same port lock again.
Looking at other line disciplines that looks like a bug in hci_ldisc.c.
Am I correct to assume that ->write_wakeup() is supposed to *just*
wakeup the bottom half so we handle ->write() in another context ?
Is it legal to call tty->ops->write() from within ->write_wakeup() ?
It isn't because you might send all the bytes and go
write
write_wakeup
write
write wakeup
...
and recurse
cool, so there really is a bug in hci_ldisc. Marcel, any tips on how do
you want this to be sorted out ?
hci_uart_tx_wakeup() should perform the I/O as work.
FWIW, this was reported by Huang Shijie back on Dec 6.
I'd fix it but I have no way to test it.
Regards,
Peter Hurley
