This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled serial: 8250: Flush DMA Rx on RLSI to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 1980860e0c8299316cddaf0992dd9e1258ec9d88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ilpo=20J=C3=A4rvinen?= <ilpo.jarvinen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2022 14:19:52 +0200 Subject: serial: 8250: Flush DMA Rx on RLSI MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Returning true from handle_rx_dma() without flushing DMA first creates a data ordering hazard. If DMA Rx has handled any character at the point when RLSI occurs, the non-DMA path handles any pending characters jumping them ahead of those characters that are pending under DMA.
