Subject: serial: 8250_port: Remove dangerous pr_debug()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=699a11ba7ec869b006623182881f2f1f5b4aea53;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

serial: 8250_port: Remove dangerous pr_debug()

With CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG if dyndbg enables debug output in
8250_port.c deadlock happens inevitably on UART IRQ handling.

That's the problematic execution path:
---------------------------->8------------------------
UART IRQ:
  serial8250_interrupt() ->
    serial8250_handle_irq(): lock "port->lock" ->
      pr_debug() ->
        serial8250_console_write(): bump in locked "port->lock".

      OR (if above pr_debug() gets removed):
      serial8250_tx_chars() ->
        pr_debug() ->
          serial8250_console_write(): bump in locked "port->lock".
---------------------------->8------------------------

So let's get rid of those not that much useful debug entries.

Discussed problem could be easily reproduced with QEMU for x86_64.
As well as this fix could be mimicked with muting of dynamic debug for
the problematic lines as simple as:
---------------------------->8------------------------
dyndbg="+p; file 8250_port.c line 1756 -p; file 8250_port.c line 1822 -p"
---------------------------->8------------------------
