From: Yicong Yang <[email protected]>
We accidently met the issue that the bash prompt is not shown after the
previous command done and until the next input if there's only one CPU
(In our issue other CPUs are isolated by isolcpus=). Further analysis
shows it's because the port entering runtime suspend even if there's
still pending chars in the buffer and the pending chars will only be
processed in next device resuming. We are using amba-pl011 and the
problematic flow is like below:
Bash kworker
tty_write()
file_tty_write()
n_tty_write()
uart_write()
__uart_start()
pm_runtime_get() // wakeup waker
queue_work()
pm_runtime_work()
rpm_resume()
status = RPM_RESUMING
serial_port_runtime_resume()
port->ops->start_tx()
pl011_tx_chars()
uart_write_wakeup()
[…]
__uart_start()
pm_runtime_get() < 0 // because runtime status = RPM_RESUMING
// later data are not commit to the port driver
status = RPM_ACTIVE
rpm_idle() -> rpm_suspend()
This patch tries to fix this by checking the port busy before entering
runtime suspending. A runtime_suspend callback is added for the port
driver. When entering runtime suspend the callback is invoked, if there's
still pending chars in the buffer then flush the buffer.

Change since v3:
- Drop non-fix change in __serial_port_busy()
- Use a boolen busy instead of ret per Jiri
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Change since v2:
- Narrow the spinlock region per Andy
- Make __serial_port_busy() return -EBUSY if port has pending chars per Andy
Thanks.

Change since v1:
- Use port lock wrapper per John
- Flush the pending chars and return -EBUSY per Tony.
Thanks.

No need to Cc to people whose tags you already have. The Git tools will add
them to the Cc list.

In general, Cc is better to be either supplied with --cc or be located after
the cutter '---' line, so they won't pollute the commit message.

Code wise LGTM, thanks.

You can assign here
struct uart_port *port = port_dev->port;
and save 2 LoCs.

If you want to have assignment separated, this blank line may be dropped.
