If a process is killed while writing to a /dev/ttymxc* device in RS485 mode, we observe that the RTS signal is left high, thus making it impossible for other devices to transmit anything. Moreover, the ->tx_state variable is left in state SEND, which means that when one next opens the device and configures baud rate etc., the initialization code in imx_uart_set_termios dutifully ensures the RTS pin is pulled down, but since ->tx_state is already SEND, the logic in imx_uart_start_tx() does not in fact pull the pin high before transmitting, so nothing actually gets on the wire on the other side of the transceiver. Only when that transmission is allowed to complete is the state machine then back in a consistent state. This is completely reproducible by doing something as simple as seq 10000 > /dev/ttymxc0 and hitting ctrl-C, and watching with a logic analyzer.

I'm writing to /dev/ttymxc2. This demonstrates both bugs; that RTS is left high when a write is interrupted, and that a subsequent write actually fails to have RTS high while TX'ing. I'm not sure what commit to name as a Fixes:. This certainly happens on 6.6 and onwards, but I assume the problem exists since the tx_state machine was introduced in cb1a60923609 (serial: imx: implement rts delaying for rs485), and possibly even before that. drivers/tty/serial/imx.c | 51 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c b/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c index 2eb22594960f..85c240e8c24e 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c @@ -1551,6 +1551,7 @@ static void imx_uart_shutdown(struct uart_port *port) struct imx_port *sport = (struct imx_port *)port; unsigned long flags; u32 ucr1, ucr2, ucr4, uts; + int loops; if (sport->dma_is_enabled) { dmaengine_terminate_sync(sport->dma_chan_tx); @@ -1613,6 +1614,56 @@ static void imx_uart_shutdown(struct uart_port *port) ucr4 &= ~UCR4_TCEN; imx_uart_writel(sport, ucr4, UCR4); + /* + * We have to ensure the tx state machine ends up in OFF.
