pch_uart: Add eg20t_port lock field, avoid recursive spinlocks
pch_uart_interrupt() takes priv->port.lock which leads to two recursive
spinlock calls if low_latency==1 or CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y (one
otherwise):
pch_uart_interrupt
spin_lock_irqsave(priv->port.lock, flags)
case PCH_UART_IID_RDR_TO (data ready)
handle_rx_to
push_rx
tty_port_tty_get
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags) <--- already hold this lock
...
tty_flip_buffer_push
...
flush_to_ldisc
spin_lock_irqsave(&tty->buf.lock)
spin_lock_irqsave(&tty->buf.lock)
disc->ops->receive_buf(tty, char_buf)
n_tty_receive_buf
tty->ops->flush_chars()
uart_flush_chars
uart_start
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock) <--- already hold this lock
Avoid this by using a dedicated lock to protect the eg20t_port structure
and IO access to its membase. This is more consistent with the 8250
driver. Ensure priv->lock is always take prior to priv->port.lock when
taken at the same time.
V2: Remove inadvertent whitespace change.
V3: Account for oops_in_progress for the private lock in
pch_console_write().
Note: Like the 8250 driver, if a printk is introduced anywhere inside
the pch_console_write() critical section, the kernel will hang
on a recursive spinlock on the private lock. The oops case is
handled by using a trylock in the oops_in_progress case.
