commit 146a37e05d620cef4ad430e5d1c9c077fe6fa76f upstream.
There's a potential race before THRE/TEMT deasserts when DMA Tx is starting up (or the next batch of continuous Tx is being submitted). This can lead to misdetecting Tx empty condition.
It is entirely normal for THRE/TEMT to be set for some time after the DMA Tx had been setup in serial8250_tx_dma(). As Tx side is definitely not empty at that point, it seems incorrect for serial8250_tx_empty() claim Tx is empty.
Fix the race by also checking in serial8250_tx_empty() whether there's DMA Tx active.
Note: This fix only addresses in-kernel race mainly to make using TCSADRAIN/FLUSH robust. Userspace can still cause other races but they seem userspace concurrency control problems.
