From 31ca2c63fdc0aee725cbd4f207c1256f5deaabde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Genoud Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2017 11:52:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tty/serial: atmel: fix race condition (TX+DMA) If uart_flush_buffer() is called between atmel_tx_dma() and atmel_complete_tx_dma(), the circular buffer has been cleared, but not atmel_port->tx_len. That leads to a circular buffer overflow (dumping (UART_XMIT_SIZE - atmel_port->tx_len) bytes).
