If cnt is 0, the code above should not do anything at all, right? Or if it does, should we change tty_insert_flip_string() to always check for cnt != 0 before it does the first loop? Hm, it looks like it will abort if cnt is 0, so what is this change really doing? Why do you need it? What is it "fixing"? thanks, greg k-h

Please be explicit and detailed. ==> Hi Gregkh, when uart is used as a communication port with external device(GPS). when external device(GPS) power off, the power of rx pin is also from 1.8v to 0v. Even if there is not any data in rx. But uart rx pin can capture the data "0". If uart don't receive any data in specified cycle, uart will generates BI(Break interrupt) interrupt. If external device(GPS) power off, we found that BI interrupt appeared continuously and very frequently. When uart interrupt type is BI, uart IRQ handler(8250 framwork API:serial8250_handle_irq) will push data to tty buffer. The code path: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c#L1917 mtk8250_dma_rx_complete is a task of mtk_uart_apdma_rx_handler. mtk8250_dma_rx_complete priority is lower than uart irq handler(serial8250_handle_irq). if we are in process of mtk8250_dma_rx_complete, uart appear BI interrupt:1)serial8250_handle_irq will priority execution.2)it may cause write tty buffer conflict in mtk8250_dma_rx_complete. So the spin lock protect the rx receive data process is not break. > > > 2. add processing mechanism which count value is 0 > > What does this do?

Then make it a separate patch, independant from the lock patch, and we can discuss it there. Do NOT have patches do multiple things. thanks, greg k-h
