these two happen outside the IRQ routine for every 48 bytes.

e? Did was the routine invoked 0xe times or this a register?

received?

So if I understand you correct, then you enter serial8250_interrupt()
and then you enter multiple times omap_8250_dma_handle_irq() and
you always get a TIMEOUT event and fetch byte(s) manualy via
serial8250_rx_chars(). And after one iteration UART_IIR_NO_INT is not
set and you do it again, right?

I have no idea when exactly the timeout-interrupt fires. The manual
says: "… the count is reset when there is activity on uarti_rx …" but it
does not say how often it increments before the level is reached.
It also might be that you have a small gap between two bytes and this
high baud rate the gap is considered as a timeout event.

Another thing could be that if the we enqueue a RX transfer from the
dma_completion callback then we have too many bytes in the FIFO already
becahse the callback is invoked from softirq. What happens if we cut the
middle man via

No, this marks the end of serial8250_interrupt().

Here's an excerpt from a new trial using v10

That's what it looks like, yes.
