    tty/serial: at91: reset rx_ring when port is shutdown · bb7e73c5
    Mark Deneen authored
    When using RX DMA, the driver won't pass any data to the uart layer
    until the buffer is flipped. When the port is shutdown, the dma buffers
    are unmapped, but the head and tail of the ring buffer are not reseted.
    Since the serial console will keep the port open, this will only
    present itself when the uart is not shared.
    
    To reproduce the issue, with an unpatched driver, run a getty on /dev/ttyS0
    with no serial console and exit. Getty will exit, and when the new one returns
    you will be unable to log in.  If you hold down a key long enough to fill the
    DMA buffer and flip it, you can then log in.
