The patches were generated from the RPi repo with the following command: git format-patch v6.6.34..rpi-6.1.y Some patches needed rebasing and, as usual, the applied and reverted, wireless drivers, Github workflows, READMEs and defconfigs patches were removed.

Subject: [PATCH 0084/1085] tty: amba-pl011: Avoid rare write-when-full error
|
|
|
|
Under some circumstances on BCM283x processors data loss can be
|
|
observed - a single byte missing from the TX output stream. These bytes
|
|
are always the last byte of a batch of 8 written from pl011_tx_chars
|
|
when from_irq is true, meaning that the FIFO full flag is not checked
|
|
before writing.
|
|
|
|
The transmit optimisation relies on the FIFO being half-empty when the
|
|
TX interrupt is raised. Instrumenting the driver further showed that
|
|
the failure case correlated with the TX FIFO full flag being set at the
|
|
point where the last byte was written to the data register, which
|
|
explains the data loss but not how the FIFO appeared to be prematurely
|
|
full. A possible explanation is that a FIFO write was in flight at the
|
|
time the interrupt was raised, but as yet there is no hypothesis as to
|
|
how this might occur.
|
|
|
|
In the absence of a clear understanding of the failure mechanism, avoid
|
|
the problem by checking the FIFO levels before writing the last byte of
|
|
the group, which will have minimal performance impact.
