There is a DMA problem with the serial ports on i.MX6. When the following sequence is performed: 1) Open a port 2) Write some data 3) Close the port 4) Open a *different* port 5) Write some data 6) Close the port The second write sends nothing and the second close hangs. If the first close() is omitted it works. Adding logs to the the UART driver shows that the DMA is being setup but the callback is never invoked for the second write. This used to work in 4.19. Git bisect leads to:ad0d92d: "dmaengine: imx-sdma: refine to load context only once" This commit adds a "context_loaded" flag used to avoid unnecessary context setups. However the flag is only reset in sdma_channel_terminate_work(), which is only invoked in a worker triggered by sdma_terminate_all() IF there is an active descriptor. So, if no active descriptor remains when the channel is terminated, the flag is not reset and, when the channel is later reused the old context is used. Fix the problem by always resetting the flag in sdma_free_chan_resources().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
