My kthread calls serial8250_suspend_port/serial8250_resume_port when the system is booting, it triggers a BUG_ON:
BUG: failure at drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:1852/serial_unlink_irq_chain()! Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

The flags will be overwritten with old value after it updates in uart_suspend_port(). CPU A CPU B in uart_suspend_port in tty_port_block_til_ready get port->flags clear ASYNCB_INITIALIZED set port->flags The flags still has ASYNCB_INITIALIZED. When uart_suspend_port is called next time, it trriggers the BUG_ON. So use set_bit/clear_bit to avoid the flags being overwritten.
