serial: sh-sci: Fix TX DMA buffer flushing and workqueue races
[ Upstream commit 8493eab02608b0e82f67b892aa72882e510c31d0 ]
When uart_flush_buffer() is called, the .flush_buffer() callback zeroes
the tx_dma_len field. This may race with the work queue function
handling transmit DMA requests:
1. If the buffer is flushed before the first DMA API call,
dmaengine_prep_slave_single() may be called with a zero length,
causing the DMA request to never complete, leading to messages
like:
rcar-dmac e7300000.dma-controller: Channel Address Error happen
and, with debug enabled:
sh-sci e6e88000.serial: sci_dma_tx_work_fn: ffff800639b55000: 0...0, cookie 126
and DMA timeouts.
2. If the buffer is flushed after the first DMA API call, but before
the second, dma_sync_single_for_device() may be called with a zero
length, causing the transmit data not to be flushed to RAM, and
leading to stale data being output.
Fix this by:
1. Letting sci_dma_tx_work_fn() return immediately if the transmit
buffer is empty,
2. Extending the critical section to cover all DMA preparational work,
so tx_dma_len stays consistent for all of it,
3. Using local copies of circ_buf.head and circ_buf.tail, to make sure
they match the actual operation above.
