serial: sh-sci: fix a race of DMA submit_tx on transfer
When DMA is enabled, sh-sci transfer begins with uart_start() sci_start_tx() if (cookie_tx < 0) schedule_work() Then, starts DMA when wq scheduled, -- (A) process_one_work() work_fn_rx() cookie_tx = desc->submit_tx() And finishes when DMA transfer ends, -- (B) sci_dma_tx_complete() async_tx_ack() cookie_tx = -EINVAL (possible another schedule_work()) This A to B sequence is not reentrant, since controlling variables (for example, cookie_tx above) are not queues nor lists. So, they must be invoked as A B A B..., otherwise results in kernel crash. To ensure the sequence, sci_start_tx() seems to test if cookie_tx < 0 (represents "not used") to call schedule_work(). But cookie_tx will not be set (to a cookie, also means "used") until in the middle of work queue scheduled function work_fn_tx(). This gap between the test and set allows the breakage of the sequence under the very frequently call of uart_start(). Another gap between async_tx_ack() and another schedule_work() results in the same issue, too. This patch introduces a new condition "cookie_tx == 0" just to mark it is "busy" and assign it within spin-locked region to fill the gaps.
