Commit Message

As the commit 677fe555cbfb ("serial: imx: Fix recursive locking bug")
has mentioned the uart driver might cause recursive locking between
normal printing and the kernel debugging facilities (e.g. sysrq and
oops).  In the commit it gave out suggestion for fixing recursive
locking issue: "The solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case
and trylock in the oops_in_progress case."

This patch follows the suggestion (also used the exactly same code with
other serial drivers, e.g. amba-pl011.c) to fix the recursive locking
issue, this can avoid stuck caused by deadlock and print out log for
sysrq and oops.

Fixes: 04896a77a97b ("msm_serial: serial driver for MSM7K onboard serial peripheral.")

I don't have tons of experience with the "msm" serial driver, but the
above snippet tickled a memory in my brain for when I was looking at
the "qcom_geni" serial driver, which is a close cousin.

I seemed to remember that the "if (port->sysrq)" was something you
didn't want.  ...but maybe that's only if you do something like commit
336447b3298c ("serial: qcom_geni_serial: Process sysrq at port unlock
time")?  Any way you can try making a similar change to the msm driver
and see if it allow you to remove the special case for "port->sysrq"?

Good point and thanks for sharing info.

The patch you mentioned can allow to read sysrq chars without
acquiring port lock.

I was deliberately to add the case for "port->sysrq" in the function
__msm_console_write() when I prepared this patch.

Let's see the issue obersved: when the UART drive is deadlock by any
reason, when sent break + h to test system is alive or not, sysrq
tries to ouput log by calling __msm_console_write(), it tries to
acquire console's spinlock but also run into deadlock; finally it
doesn't have chance to output log for sysrq.

P.s. Sorry my long late and didn't follow good practice to reply
quickly due worked on other works.

Thanks,
Leo Yan
