This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: 8250: lock port for UART_IER access in omap8250_irq() to the 6.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: serial-8250-lock-port-for-uart_ier-access-in-omap825.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 46857fd9e163e0221fd1564da51babc00be227a2 Author: John Ogness <john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 25 11:37:58 2023 +0206 serial: 8250: lock port for UART_IER access in omap8250_irq() [ Upstream commit 25614735a647693c1260f253dc3ab32127697806 ] omap8250_irq() accesses UART_IER. This register is modified twice by each console write (serial8250_console_write()) under the port lock. omap8250_irq() must also take the port lock to guanentee synchronized access to UART_IER. Since the port lock is already being taken for the stop_rx() callback and since it is safe to call cancel_delayed_work() while holding the port lock, simply extend the port lock region to include UART_IER access.
