Uwe Kleine-KönigandGreg Kroah-Hartman df2dc4cf71 serial: 8250: Fix race condition in RTS-after-send handling
[ Upstream commit dedab69fd6 ]

Set em485->active_timer = NULL isn't always enough to take out the stop
timer. While there is a check that it acts in the right state (i.e.
waiting for RTS-after-send to pass after sending some chars) but the
following might happen:

 - CPU1: some chars send, shifter becomes empty, stop tx timer armed
 - CPU0: more chars send before RTS-after-send expired
 - CPU0: shifter empty irq, port lock taken
 - CPU1: tx timer triggers, waits for port lock
 - CPU0: em485->active_timer = &em485->stop_tx_timer, hrtimer_start(),
   releases lock()
 - CPU1: get lock, see em485->active_timer == &em485->stop_tx_timer,
   tear down RTS too early

This fix bases on research done by Steffen Trumtrar.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
