[PATCH v3] serial: st-asc: don't get/put GPIOs in atomic context

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Tue Feb 20 2024 - 06:34:28 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since commit 1f2bcb8c8ccd ("gpio: protect the descriptor label with
SRCU") gpiod_set_consumer_name() calls synchronize_srcu() which led to
a "sleeping in atomic context" smatch warning.

This function (along with gpiod_get/put() and all other GPIO APIs apart
from gpiod_get/set_value() and gpiod_direction_input/output()) should
have never been called with a spinlock taken. We're only fixing this now
as GPIOLIB has been rebuilt to use SRCU for access serialization which
uncovered this problem.

Move the calls to gpiod_get/put() outside the spinlock critical section.

v2 -> v3:
- we only need to change the GPIO configuration for RTS in certain situations
so use a separate variable for storing that information; if we don't then we
may end up putting the descriptor when setting a different option
- I dropped Linus tag as the code change significantly

v1 -> v2:
- initialize the 'manual_rts' variable to false as we don't always get to
the place where it's set
