Hi Shijie
After apply this patch into our kernel,
We are facing data hang issue when sending big size file (2M used in test) to uart port
Note: Rx port is also keep receiving data.
After read the implementation of uart_stop(),
I feel like, stop_tx() is used to perform flow control when like a XOFF is received.
Which means no data should be dropped, as they may need to be sent out,
When next start_tx() is called.
But by calling dmaengine_termiate_all(), the data already be submitted to DMA engine,
May be lost, thus cause data hang.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Jiada

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: imx: remove the DMA wait queue
The DMA wait queue makes the code very complicated:
For RX, the @->stop_rx hook does not really stop the RX;
For TX, the @->stop_tx hook does not really stop the TX.
The above make the imx_shutdown has to wait the RX/TX DMA to be finished.
In order to make code more simple, this patch removes the DMA wait queue.
By calling the dmaengine_terminate_all, this patch makes the RX stops immediately after we call the @->stop_rx hook, so does the TX.
