Thanks for the report Aaro. Looks like Seth's fix exposes some broken assumptions in the Sun serial drivers. Can you test the patch below? Regards, Peter Hurley PS - Do you have a way to test also your setup using hardware flow control, ie. CRTSCTS? I ask because I would expect that to be broken even before Seth's patch. --- %< --- From: Peter Hurley <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2014 19:21:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] serial: sunsab: Test for no tx data on tx restart Commit 717f3bbab3c7628736ef738fdbf3d9a28578c26c, 'serial_core: Fix conditional start_tx on ring buffer not empty' exposes an incorrect assumption in sunsab's start_tx method; the tx ring buffer can, in fact, be empty when restarting tx when performing flow control. Test for empty tx ring buffer when in sunsab's start_tx method.
