usb: gadget: serial: fix re-ordering of tx data
When a single thread is sending out data over the gadget serial port, gs_start_tx() will be called both from the sender context and from the write completion. Since the port lock is released before the packet is queued, the order in which the URBs are submitted is not guaranteed. E.g. sending thread completion (interrupt) gs_write() LOCK gs_write_complete() LOCK (wait) gs_start_tx() req1 = list_entry(pool->next) UNLOCK LOCK (acquired) gs_start_tx() req2 = list_entry(pool->next) UNLOCK usb_ep_queue(req2) usb_ep_queue(req1) I.e., req2 is submitted before req1 but it contains the data that comes after req1. To reproduce, use SMP with sending thread and completion pinned to different CPUs, or use PREEMPT_RT, and add the following delay just before the call to usb_ep_queue(): if (port->write_started > 0 && !list_empty(pool)) udelay(1000); To work around this problem, make sure that only one thread is running through the gs_start_tx() loop with an extra flag write_busy. Since gs_start_tx() is always called with the port lock held, no further synchronisation is needed. The original caller will continue through the loop when the request was successfully submitted.
