From 33f16855dcb973f745c51882d0e286601ff3be2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Nobs Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 09:50:06 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] tty: serial: imx: fix potential deadlock MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Enabling the lock dependency validator has revealed that the way spinlocks are used in the IMX serial port could result in a deadlock. Specifically, imx_uart_int() acquires a spinlock without disabling the interrupts, meaning that another interrupt could come along and try to acquire the same spinlock, potentially causing the two to wait for each other indefinitely. Use spin_lock_irqsave() instead to disable interrupts upon acquisition of the spinlock.
