The uart driver might run into deadlock caused by recursive output; the basic flow is after uart driver has acquired the port spinlock, then it invokes some functions, e.g. dma engine operations and allocate dma descriptor with kzalloc(), if the system has very less free memory, the kernel will give out warning by printing logs, thus recursive output will happen and at the second time the attempting to acquire lock will cause deadlock. The detailed flow is shown as below: msm_uart_irq() spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags) => First time to acquire lock msm_handle_tx(port) msm_handle_tx_dma() dmaengine_prep_slave_single() bam_prep_slave_sg() kzalloc() __kmalloc() ___slab_alloc() alloc_pages_current() __alloc_pages_nodemask() warn_alloc() printk() msm_console_write() __msm_console_write() spin_lock(&port->lock) => Cause deadlock This patch fixes the deadlock issue for recursive output; it adds a variable 'curr_user' to indicate the uart port is used by which CPU, if the CPU has acquired spinlock and wants to execute recursive output, it will directly bail out. Here we don't choose to avoid locking and print out log, the reason is in this case we don't want to reset the uart port with function msm_reset_dm_count(); otherwise it can introduce confliction with other flows and results in uart port malfunction and later cannot output anymore.
