This reorganization would perhaps explain the problem space better: DMA transfer may end prematurely due to the DMA Rx timeout even during an active transfer because a constant timeout does not accurately simulate an EOP event. The timer should only complete a DMA transfer once the idle period satisfies a specified interval which is baud rate dependant. The problem has been observed with low baud rates but could occur also with high baud rates. ...I would also open the EOP here too and not just in the comment below. > The patch checks the DMA residue count before copying data to the TTY Make the DMA Rx timeout baud rate dependent and check the DMA residue count before copying data to the TTY > buffer.

Otherwise, new data was received during the interval and the EOP condition is not met so restart the DMA Rx timeout. > Signed-off-by: Shenwei Wang <shenwei.wang@xxxxxxx> > --- > V3: > - change the rx_watermark from 8 to 7 because the dma request is > generated when the fifo level is greater than this value. > V2: > - this version is to address the review feedback from Ilpo. > - reset the last_residue when rx dma starts. > - simplified the character counting in the RX circular buffer. > - use max_t() and DIV_ROUND_UP() > > drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- > 1 file changed, 47 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c b/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c > index c91916e13648..0ee1161bc789 100644 > --- a/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c > +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/fsl_lpuart.c > @@ -238,6 +238,7 @@ > > /* Rx DMA timeout in ms, which is used to calculate Rx ring buffer size */ > #define DMA_RX_TIMEOUT (10) > +#define DMA_RX_IDLE_CHARS (8) > #define UART_AUTOSUSPEND_TIMEOUT 3000 > > #define DRIVER_NAME "fsl-lpuart" > @@ -282,6 +283,7 @@ struct lpuart_port { > struct scatterlist rx_sgl, tx_sgl[2]; > struct circ_buf rx_ring; > int rx_dma_rng_buf_len; > + int last_residue; > unsigned int dma_tx_nents; > wait_queue_head_t dma_wait; > bool is_cs7; /* Set to true when character size is 7 */ > @@ -331,7 +333,7 @@ static struct lpuart_soc_data imx8qxp_data = { > .devtype = IMX8QXP_LPUART, > .iotype = UPIO_MEM32, > .reg_off = IMX_REG_OFF, > - .rx_watermark = 31, > + .rx_watermark = 7, /* A lower watermark is ideal for low baud rates. */ > }; > static struct lpuart_soc_data imxrt1050_data = { > .devtype = IMXRT1050_LPUART, > @@ -1255,6 +1257,8 @@ static void lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty(struct lpuart_port *sport) > sport->port.icount.rx += copied; > } > > + sport->last_residue = state.residue; > + > exit: > dma_sync_sg_for_device(chan->device->dev, &sport->rx_sgl, 1, > DMA_FROM_DEVICE); > @@ -1272,11 +1276,37 @@ static void lpuart_dma_rx_complete(void *arg) > lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty(sport); > } > > +/* > + * Timer function to simulate the hardware EOP (End Of Package) event. > + * The timer callback is to check for new RX data and copy to TTY buffer. > + * If no new data are received since last interval, the EOP condition is > + * met, complete the DMA transfer by copying the data.
