From: Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit f8fd1b0350d3a4581125f5eda6528f5a2c5f9183 upstream. __dma_tx_complete is not protected against concurrent call of serial8250_tx_dma. it can lead to circular tail index corruption or parallel call of serial_tx_dma on the same data portion. This patch fixes this issue by holding the port lock.
