[U-Boot] [PATCH] serial: ns16550: Enhancements to the RX interrupt buffer support
This patch changes the RX interrupt buffer support in these ways, mostly suggested by Bin Meng a few weeks ago:
- The RX interrupt buffers size is now configurable via Kconfig (default still at 256 bytes) - For NS16550 devices on the PCI bus, the interrupt number will be read from the PCI config space. Please note that this might not result in the correct non-zero interrupt number for this PCI device, as the UART init code is called very early, currently on x86 before the PCI config registers are initialized via U-Boot - If the interrupt number is not provided, the code falls back to the normal polling mode - The RX interrupt generation is disabled in the UART in the remove function
While reworking this RX interrupt buffer support, the "default n" is also removed from Kconfig as its not needed as pointed out by Bin Meng. Also, a missing comment for the 'irq' variable is added to the header.

But rx_pending() and rx_get() is still the IRQ buffer version, not the polling version.
Having said that, I've tested this patch, without setting "interrupts" in the dts file, and testing on MinnowMax showing that previous out of order character issue is disappeared with such configuration! Here is the test result:

So maybe there is no need to add IRQ support at all ... Only adding a buffer will resolve the original issue you wanted to fix ..

Interesting idea - thanks for all the tests. The RX buffer has evolved quite a bit, so your idea might very well be the much easier solution for this problem. I need to test this on the DFI board though as well, to see if this solves the char dropping here as well.
Thanks, Stefan

So maybe there is no need to add IRQ support at all ... Only adding a buffer will resolve the original issue you wanted to fix ..
Interesting idea - thanks for all the tests. The RX buffer has evolved quite a bit, so your idea might very well be the much easier solution for this problem. I need to test this on the DFI board though as well, to see if this solves the char dropping here as well.
Yes, adding a buffer without using interrupt is much easier. And I believe this support can be moved to DM serial codes, so that every serial driver can benefit from it :)

- If the interrupt number is not provided, the code falls back to the normal polling mode
- The RX interrupt generation is disabled in the UART in the remove function
While reworking this RX interrupt buffer support, the "default n" is also removed from Kconfig as its not needed as pointed out by Bin Meng. Also, a missing comment for the 'irq' variable is added to the header.

I don't see this CONFIG_SERIAL_IRQ_BUFFER_SIZE is referenced anywhere in the ns16550 codes?

Yes, but still they should work just fine (or even better).
Having said that, I've tested this patch, without setting "interrupts" in the dts file, and testing on MinnowMax showing that previous out of order character issue is disappeared with such configuration! Here is the test result:

Please take a look at the latest patchset for this and let me know, what you think of it.
