Hi! I got a report of FreeBSD guest's new uart(4) driver misbehaving in qemu again(?) (output stopping for no apparent reason), and now found out the problem is tx irqs (UART_IIR_THRI) are getting lost because serial_update_irq() checks for the rx condtion, ... if ((s->ier & UART_IER_RDI) && (s->lsr & UART_LSR_DR)) first before checking for the tx irq condition, ... if ((s->ier & UART_IER_THRI) && s->thr_ipending) which at least in this case (FreeBSD 8 guest after doing set console="comconsole" at the loader prompt or when simply echo'ing text to /dev/ttyu0 or typing to the serial port from cu(1) on a `regular' vga console) causes the second condition (.. && s->thr_ipending) to be never reached anymore, or only after a very long delay. Moving that condition up so it is checked first like this, Index: qemu/hw/serial.c _at__at_ -189,7 +188,9 _at__at_ static void serial_update_irq(SerialStat { uint8_t tmp_iir = UART_IIR_NO_INT; - if ((s->ier & UART_IER_RLSI) && (s->lsr & UART_LSR_INT_ANY)) { + if ((s->ier & UART_IER_THRI) && s->thr_ipending) { + tmp_iir = UART_IIR_THRI; + } else if ((s->ier & UART_IER_RLSI) && (s->lsr & UART_LSR_INT_ANY)) { tmp_iir = UART_IIR_RLSI; } else if ((s->ier & UART_IER_RDI) && s->timeout_ipending) { /* Note that(s->ier & UART_IER_RDI) can mask this interrupt, _at__at_ -202,8 +203,6 _at__at_ static void serial_update_irq(SerialStat } else if (s->recv_fifo.count >= s->recv_fifo.itl) { tmp_iir = UART_IIR_RDI; } - } else if ((s->ier & UART_IER_THRI) && s->thr_ipending) { - tmp_iir = UART_IIR_THRI; } else if ((s->ier & UART_IER_MSI) && (s->msr & UART_MSR_ANY_DELTA)) { tmp_iir = UART_IIR_MSI; } ...fixes the issue for me, but I'm not 100% sure if this might cause rx irqs to come (too?) late when a guest keeps sending while its receiving at the same time. Anyone care to comment? :) Thanx, JuergenReceived on Fri Sep 11 2009 - 19:37:28 UTC
