[PATCH 1/2] serial: 8250_dma: Fix DMA Rx completion race

From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Mon Jan 30 2023 - 06:49:55 EST


__dma_rx_complete() is called from two places:
- Through the DMA completion callback dma_rx_complete()
- From serial8250_rx_dma_flush() after IIR_RLSI or IIR_RX_TIMEOUT
The former does not hold port's lock during __dma_rx_complete() which
allows these two to race and potentially insert the same data twice.

Extend port's lock coverage in dma_rx_complete() to prevent the race
and check if the DMA Rx is still pending completion before calling
into __dma_rx_complete().
