The problem was narrowed down to DMA Rx starting on UART_IIR_THRI interrupt. The problem occurs despite LSR having DR bit set, which is precondition for attempting to start DMA Rx in the first place. From a debug patch: [x.807834] 8250irq: iir=cc lsr+saved=60 received=0/15 ier=0f dma_t/rx/err=0/0/0 [x.808676] 8250irq: iir=c2 lsr+saved=61 received=0/0 ier=0f dma_t/rx/err=0/0/0 [x.808776] 8250irq: iir=cc lsr+saved=60 received=1/12 ier=0d dma_t/rx/err=0/1/0 [x.808870] Bluetooth: hci0: Frame reassembly failed (-84) In the debug snippet, received field indicates 1 byte was transferred over DMA and 12 bytes after that with the non-DMA Rx. The sole byte DMA handled was corrupted (gets zeroed) which leads to the HCI failure. This problem became apparent after commit e8ffbb71f783 ("serial: 8250: use THRE & __stop_tx also with DMA") changed Tx stop behavior. Tx stop is now triggered from a THRI interrupt. Despite that this problem looks like a HW bug, this fix is not adding UART_BUG_xx flag to the driver beucase it seems useful in general to avoid starting DMA when there are only a few bytes to transfer. Skipping DMA for small transfers avoids the extra overhead DMA incurs. Thus, don't setup DMA Rx on UART_IIR_THRI but leave it to a subsequent interrupt which has Rx a related IIR value. By returning false from handle_rx_dma(), the DMA vs non-DMA decision is postponed until either UART_IIR_RDI (FIFO threshold worth of bytes awaiting) or UART_IIR_TIMEOUT (inter-character timeout) triggers at a later time which allows better to discern whether the number of bytes warrants starting DMA or not.
