      serial: sh-sci: Remove cpufreq notifier to fix crash/deadlock · ff1cab37
      Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于
      The BSP team noticed that there is spin/mutex lock issue on sh-sci when
      CPUFREQ is used.  The issue is that the notifier function may call
      mutex_lock() while the spinlock is held, which can lead to a BUG().
      This may happen if CPUFREQ is changed while another CPU calls
      clk_get_rate().
      
      Taking the spinlock was added to the notifier function in commit
      e552de24 ("sh-sci: add platform device private data"), to
      protect the list of serial ports against modification during traversal.
      At that time the Common Clock Framework didn't exist yet, and
      clk_get_rate() just returned clk->rate without taking a mutex.
      Note that since commit d535a230 ("serial: sh-sci: Require a
      device per port mapping."), there's no longer a list of serial ports to
      traverse, and taking the spinlock became superfluous.
      
      To fix the issue, just remove the cpufreq notifier:
        1. The notifier doesn't work correctly: all it does is update stored
           clock rates; it does not update the divider in the hardware.
           The divider will only be updated when calling sci_set_termios().
           I believe this was broken back in 2004, when the old
           drivers/char/sh-sci.c driver (where the notifier did update the
           divider) was replaced by drivers/serial/sh-sci.c (where the
           notifier just updated port->uartclk).
           Cfr. full-history-linux commits 6f8deaef2e9675d9 ("[PATCH] sh: port
           sh-sci driver to the new API") and 3f73fe878dc9210a ("[PATCH]
           Remove old sh-sci driver").
        2. On modern SoCs, the sh-sci parent clock rate is no longer related
           to the CPU clock rate anyway, so using a cpufreq notifier is
           futile.
