Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
serial: 8250: Fix TX deadlock when using DMA<br />
<br />
`dmaengine_terminate_async` does not guarantee that the<br />
`__dma_tx_complete` callback will run. The callback is currently the<br />
only place where `dma->tx_running` gets cleared. If the transaction is<br />
canceled and the callback never runs, then `dma->tx_running` will never<br />
get cleared and we will never schedule new TX DMA transactions again.<br />
<br />
This change makes it so we clear `dma->tx_running` after we terminate<br />
the DMA transaction. This is "safe" because `serial8250_tx_dma_flush`<br />
is holding the UART port lock. The first thing the callback does is also<br />
grab the UART port lock, so access to `dma->tx_running` is serialized.
