for our build, this is crashing at:
circ->buf[circ->head] = c;
Looking in uart_port_startup(), it seems that circ->buf (state->xmit.buf)
protected by the "per-port mutex", which based on uart_port_check() is
state->port.mutex. Indeed, the lock acquired in uart_put_char() is
uport->lock, i.e. not the same lock.
Anyway, since the lock is not acquired, if uart_shutdown() is called, the
last chunk of that function may release state->xmit.buf before its assigned
to null, and cause the race above.
To fix it, let's lock uport->lock when allocating/deallocating
state->xmit.buf in addition to the per-port mutex.
v2: switch to locking uport->lock on allocation/deallocation instead of
locking the per-port mutex in uart_put_char. Note that since
uport->lock is a spin lock, we have to switch the allocation to
GFP_ATOMIC.
v3: move the allocation outside the lock, so we can switch back to
GFP_KERNEL
v4: * switch to positive condition of state->xmit.buf in
uart_port_startup()
* declare `flags` on its own line
* use the result of uart_port_lock() in uart_shutdown() to avoid
uninitialized warning
* don't use the uart_port_lock/unlock macros in uart_port_startup,
instead test against uport directly; the compiler can't seem to "see"
through the macros/ref/unref calls to not warn about uninitialized
flags. We don't need to do a ref here since we hold the per-port
mutex anyway.
