Subject: [PATCH v4 8/8] serial: qcom-geni: Rework TX in FIFO mode to fix hangs/lockups

The fact that the Qualcomm GENI hardware interface is based around
"packets" is really awkward to fit into Linux's UART design.
Specifically, in order to send bytes you need to start up a new
"command" saying how many bytes you want to send and then you need to
send all those bytes. Once you've committed to sending that number of
bytes it's very awkward to change your mind and send fewer, especially
if you want to do so without dropping bytes on the ground.

There may be a few cases where you might want to send fewer bytes than
you originally expected:
1. You might want to interrupt the transfer with something higher
   priority, like the kernel console or kdb.
2. You might want to enter system suspend.
3. The user might have killed the program that had queued bytes for
   sending over the UART.

Despite this awkwardness the Linux driver has still tried to send
bytes using large transfers. Whenever the driver started a new
transfer it would look at the number of bytes in the OS's queue and
start a transfer for that many. The idea of using larger transfers is
that it should be more efficient. When you're in the middle of a large
transfer you can get interrupted when the hardware FIFO is close to
empty and add more bytes in. Whenever you get to the end of a transfer
you have to wait until the transfer is totally done before you can add
more bytes and, depending on interrupt latency, that can cause the
UART to idle a bit.

Unfortunately there were lots of corner cases that the Linux driver
didn't handle.

One problem with the current driver is that if the user killed the
program that queued bytes for sending over the UART then bad things
would happen. Before commit 1788cf6a91d9 ("tty: serial: switch from
circ_buf to kfifo") we'd just send stale data out the UART. After that
commit we'll hard lockup.

Another problem with the current driver can be seen if you queue a
bunch of data to the UART and enter kdb. Specifically on a device
_without_ kernel console on the UART, with an agetty on the UART, and
with kgdb on the UART, doing `cat /var/log/messages` and then dropping
into kdb and resuming caused console output to stop.

Give up on trying to use large transfers in FIFO mode on GENI UART
since there doesn't appear to be any way to solve these problems
cleanly. Visually inspecting the console output even after these
patches doesn't show any big pauses.

In order to make this all work:
- Switch the watermark interrupt to just being used to prime the TX
  pump. Once transfers are running, use "done" to queue the next
  batch. As part of this, change the watermark to fire whenever the
  queue is empty.
- Never queue more than what can fit in the FIFO. This means we don't
  need to keep track of a command we're partway through.
- For the console code and kgdb code where we can safely block while
  the queue empties, just do that rather than trying to queue a
  command when one was already in progress (which didn't work so well
  and is why there were some weird/awkward hacks in
  qcom_geni_serial_console_write()).
- Leave the CMD_DONE interrupt enabled all the time since there's
  never any reason we don't want to see it.
- Start using the "SE_GENI_M_IRQ_EN_SET" and "SE_GENI_M_IRQ_EN_CLEAR"
  registers to avoid read-modify-write of the "SE_GENI_M_IRQ_EN"
  register. This could be done in more of the driver if needed but for
  now just update code that's touched.

Fixes: a1fee899e5be ("tty: serial: qcom_geni_serial: Fix softlock")

---
I'm listing two "fixes" commits here. The first is the kfifo change
since it is very easy to see a hardlockup after that change. Almost
certainly anyone with the kfifo patch wants this patch. I've also
listed a much earlier patch as one being fixed since that was the one
that made us send larger transfers.

I've tested this commit on an sc7180-trogdor board both with and
without kernel console going to the UART. I've tested across some
suspend/resume cycles and with kgdb. I've also confirmed that
bluetooth, which uses the DMA paths in this driver, continues to work.
That all being said, a lot of things change here so I'd love any
testing folks want to do.

I'm not explicitly CCing stable here. The only truly terrible problem
is the hardlockup introduced by the kfifo change. The rest of the
issue have been around for years. If someone wants the fixes ported
back to stable that's fine but IMO unless you're seeing problems it's
not 100% required.
