[PATCH 4/4] serial: 8250: Flush DMA Rx on RLSI
Posted by Ilpo Järvinen 3 years, 5 months ago
Returning true from handle_rx_dma() without flushing DMA first creates
a data ordering hazard. If DMA Rx has handled any character at the
point when RLSI occurs, the non-DMA path handles any pending characters
jumping them ahead of those characters that are pending under DMA.

Maybe instead you can do --cc Guilles ... for entire series (and drop from
other commit messages)?
