This change will cause regression since it introduce a WARN_ON_ONCE, which will be printed if the user tries to use non working feature. In mainline you will eventually going to have pause/resume support so this patch will make no sense there. > > spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->rx_dma_lock, flags); > > @@ -813,6 +817,9 @@ static int omap_8250_rx_dma(struct uart_8250_port *p, unsigned int iir) > break; > } > > + if (priv->rx_dma_broken) > + return -EINVAL; > + > spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->rx_dma_lock, flags); > > if (dma->rx_running) > -- P?ter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
