This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: samsung: fix DMA for FIFO smaller than cache line size
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-testing 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 be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: serial: samsung: fix DMA for FIFO smaller than cache line size
So far DMA mode were activated when only number of bytes to send was
equal or greater than min_dma_size. Due to requirement that DMA transaction
buffer should be aligned to cache line size, the excessive bytes were
written to FIFO before starting DMA transaction. The problem occurred
when FIFO size were smaller than cache alignment, because writing all
excessive bytes to FIFO would fail. It happened in DMA mode when PIO
interrupts disabled, which caused driver hung.
The solution is to test if buffer is alligned to cache line size before
activating DMA mode, and if it's not, running PIO mode to align buffer
and then starting DMA transaction. In PIO mode, when interrupts are
enabled, lack of space in FIFO isn't the problem, so buffer aligning
will always finish with success.
