[PATCH 0/7] serial: imx: various improvements

Fri Jun 30 05:04:39 PDT 2017

During shutdown when a userspace service is disabled (which generates
an uart close), we got kernel crashes in the imx serial driver :

[ 1258.314160] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

After investigations, we found several issues:
It looks that interrupts can happen after the dma was disabled and
port was not yet shutdown. This will result in interrupts handled by
imx_rxint. Analyzed the imx_shutdown function, and found that:

- Some interrupts were not disabled during shutdown (AWAKEN, UCR4_OREN,
  UCR1_TRDYEN) 
- TX was not stopped in all situations (if dma is enabled and
  transmitting)
- Using deprecated dmaengine_terminate_all method.
- Trying to close DMA channels several times. 

This set of patches proposes fix regarding these issues and problems we
found during debugging.

Nandor Han (7):
  serial: imx: only set DMA rx-ing when DMA starts
  serial: imx: move log from error to debug type
  serial: imx: init dma_is_{rx|tx}ing variables
  serial: imx: Simplify DMA disablement
  serial: imx: umap sg buffers when DMA channel is released
  serial: imx: update the stop rx,tx procedures
  serial: imx: Fix imx_shutdown procedure
